I really don’t appreciate BigCoffee pushing their anxiety juice on me.

Ever since I stopped drinking that mini-panic-attack potion, my heart hasn’t skipped a beat, my sleep has been great and I don’t feel tired all the time.

Hopefully one day people wake up (haha) and dump it the way we’ve dumped cigarettes.

To each his own, but also:

All things in moderation; I drink a cup or two a day, but only before lunch, never after, and I eat beforehand.

If I don't eat, or I have too many coffees together, I get the anxiety you mention.

If I have coffee after lunch, it affects my sleep.

But, accounting for those things and mitigating them, I now not only get the benefit of coffee (if there is one), I get the social benefit of having coffee with people.

It’s so dumb. It literally creates the problem just so it can solve it (same as cigarettes). People say they need coffee for energy. If you stopped drinking coffee you would have steady energy throughout the entire day !!
