One of my coworkers asked me why I don't just drink my coffee on the way to work. I drink mine before I leave.

Why? I love coffee, but coffee does not love me. I need to be able to shit before I leave. And then sometimes again when I get to work.

No, I don't put milk products in my coffee.

Have you tried tea? It typically has even more caffeine than coffee.

[–] dingus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I try now and then but I just can't get into it. I love the taste of coffee. I know teas are varied and have different flavor and I try different ones now and then but I always come back to coffee. I love the taste and the smell. Even decaf doesn't seem to help alleviate GI issues with it though...it seems to be something about the coffee itself that my body doesn't like.

Coffee is the feel good juice that helps me feel normal when a plane is involved

I wonder if it's because coffee raises blood pressure and heart rate, and helps counteract the atmospheric density being lower in a plane

I’ve never seen anyone eating coffee. Sounds strange.

Some people would use spoon to eat milk surface of cappuccino or latte coffee

Oh interesting!

Joke's on her—I’m flying with my coffee, anxious and irregular AF

Ughh yeah. If I'm doing anything slightly nerve wracking no food for me or I'm just in the toilet wanting to punch my stomach for being a dick. Just tiny sips of water for me.

"Oh, this surgery you'll be awake for so you can eat or drink day of!"

Absolutely not. No. I can't throw my stupid guts at the bathroom when you're going inside with needles, so I'm going to go with fasting, thanks!

Meanwhile I'm pounding down beers

Hell yeah pre-flight beers give you the most fun encounters in what is normally a hell; airports

Have you heard of alcohol and pills?

[–] guillem@aussie.zone 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Better not mix both, but yeah benzos have been a real game changer. Don't take the emergency exit seats though.

better not mix both

Idk best flight I ever took was off four beers and a Xanax. I generally don't get belligerent when I take downers tho, I'm more of a fall asleep kinda guy.

Edit: dont do this lol I never even considered me dying as a concern, long as I don't go viral for fighting the flight attendant we good xD.

This can kill you pretty easily if you don't have a tolerance to both. It's generally frowned upon to recommend stacking CNS depressants.

[–] guillem@aussie.zone 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It's more because they help each other and you might intoxicate yourself very badly.

Edit: the emergency exit bit is because you need to be responsive in case they need you to open them.

coffee is even bad for normal stomachs. makes them bad in a couple of years.
