Alcohol, caffeine and anxiety!

The Riddler

I’ve noticed recently that if I drink alcohol, and I mean 1 or 2 glasses of wine, a bottle of beer or two (not on the same night), my anxiety is increased the following day. Sometimes for a few days afterwards. I also think this happens with caffeine once I go over a certain amount.

Is this a thing for others or am just sensitive to it?

  • You could say the link between my mind and caffeine is: I'm a bit anxious that one day they might stop producing coffee for the European market...

    I’m getting the impression you like coffee! I do like a good coffee myself. Possibly a little bit more fussy about the bean combination and grind. I was lucky enough to work for Costa for about 3 years, so my aftershave of choice at the time was au-de-ground coffee!

    Before I bought the espresso machine (the cheapest delonghi with automatic grinding) we had more expensive ground coffee, and we made it with a French press.

    Now I buy the cheaper beans to justify the investment of the machine. I always buy the heaviest burnt (highest level of torrification?) type of beans, so I think it's not so important what the quality is if you're nuking them anyways?

    We also have an Italian moka-pot (Bialetti), that's also fun! to see that volcano bubbling up.
