Nothing special will happen. I've been taking coffee since I got out of high school. I stopped in-between though. Situations around me actually determine if I'll stick to it or not. So I stop or continue with it depending on.....

Nothing can separate me from my coffee. People should also try coffee with lime. It makes good sense. There's even a blend of that from Nestlé. Not sure if it's in Nigeria though. Then there's Nestlé Nespresso capsule.
whatever makes you happy,, cheers *raises my tot of Jack Daniels *

I took a lot of coffee during my university days. Especially in my finals, in my pursuit of a second class upper degree, coffee was my best companion. Thank God I made it.

medtes100: coffee, really bad when u take too much and u try to withdraw from it. could lead to excruciating headaches and insomnia. Its a year and half dt i stopped taking coffee and am still suffering from d withdrawal effects. d most painful part is d inability to read. really affecting my grades in school. praying to get over it soon.

You're absolutely correct. I used to drink lots of coffee back in my university days especially during exam period. After the exam, I suffer from terrible headaches and fatigue for the next few days. I remember my third year in uni when I drank lots of thick black coffee to study for two heavy four unit courses. The first one went fairly ok while the second one was a disaster. I couldn't sleep all night and I was so disoriented for the exam. I could barely read or write properly, got to a stage I had to drop my pen and rest my head on the table. In the end, I couldn't finish on the paper inspite of the 3 hours given. I ended up getting a B and a C and the headache that followed was major. That was the last time I ever drank black coffee.

stingbreed: Coffee wakes you up in the morning and keeps you alert throughout the day, but how does its magic ingredient actually work?
The first thing to know is that part of your natural tiredness comes from a molecule called adenosine, which is produced by your body while it chugs along through the day. "While you sleep, the concentration of adenosine declines, gradually promoting wakefulness. Meanwhile, the more adenosine that builds up, the sleepier you feel.

Your morning coffee is able to hijack that process because caffeine looks a lot like adenosine to your brain cells:

Because of its similar shape, caffeine can bind to the adenosine receptors in your brain. Once the caffeine is locked into adenosine's rightful spot though, there is no way for the adenosine to stick around — which prevents it from building up and making you sleepy.

Without the molecule that usually induces exhaustion, "our natural stimulants run wild," Joseph Stromberg writes in Smithsonian. The result? You feel wide awake — at least for a while.

But all good things must come to an end, and your brain quickly wises up to your tricks.

When the adenosine is continually blocked from binding to its receptors, your body eventually creates more receptors — which means you need even more caffeine to plug them up. This can make kicking your coffee habit increasingly difficult, and make you need more and more caffeine to stay alert.

"When you try to quit drinking coffee or miss your daily intake, you might experience some withdrawal symptoms and feel more tired than you would have before you ever drank coffee."

But caffeine does more than just block adenosine. It can also pump up your levels of adrenaline and boost your mood — "the exact same thing cocaine does, just to a lesser degree,"
