Do you drink coffee in the evening?

[Takhisis]

Sunset today is at 4:57 pm.

It's twenty past six and I have at least another hour of good sunlight left.

I've been some months (possibly a year or so, dunno - can't remember) without drinking any tea. I'd bought some tea in, though, for someone I thought might visit, but they didn't. So I drank three cups of tea during yesterday. Couldn't sleep till early this morning. I drank another two cups today and realised my gullet was, or felt, coated with this tannin? And I'm... like... gggccch... in the throat.


I've thrown the rest of the tea on the compost heap.

It's a shame. I used to quite like drinking tea.

What tea was it? Are you sure it was real tea?

I used to, but now I usually don't drink coffee after 4pm. Dining out is an exception.

I don't always drink coffee at night, but when I do...

I do enjoy a nice cup at night. But it has to be earlier at night, otherwise the caffeine will keep me up later than I want to be.

I do drink coffee fairly regularly in the evening. I find the caffeine doesn't really affect my ability to go to sleep.

I'm quitting coffee tomorrow. Love the taste, but for some reason it makes me stupidly anxious and hyper when other supplements like guarana just get me hyper without the anxiety. *shrug*

I don't drink coffee. But the few times I have tried to so that I could stay awake it had no effect at all.

Alternative: Instead of dropping coffee from your diet, just add in whiskey. Nothing mellows ya out like a good ol' whiskey sour.

Just had one, and it's 9 PM here.

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Only at night if it has Jameson and Baileys in it. But not otherwise.

 

[Rashiminos]

Generally no. Heavy caffeine consumption at odd hours tends to irritate me.

 

[Traitorfish]

Sometimes, although very rarely later than about eight, and my internal clock is already about two hours behind, so I'm not sure if it actually means anything.

Guarana is just another bean that is loaded with caffeine like coffee is. There are probably other differences but usually when a drink says it has 'guarana' in it then it is just a marketers way of saying 'contains caffeine that didn't come from a coffee bean'. The mystery boosts sales I guess.

 

[Terxpahseyton]

Guarana means caffeine which is part of a chemical compound which causes the caffeine to be released slower and for a longer time, resulting in a distinct effect compared to regular caffeine.
However, it is possible that this compound gets destroyed in the process of drink production. I consume Guarana in the form of a nasty powder that tastes like dirt (literally) but is awesomely superior to a coffee if I need to stay alert.
