Drink some Coffee

From my health magazine:

"Drinking two or more cups of coffee a day reduces the risk of suicide by around 45 per cent, say researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health.
They think that caffeine boosts mood hormones in the brain and stop us feeling depressed. But the benefits seem to stop at around three cups - or around 400 mg of caffeine a day - they say.
And caffeine's benefits extend only as far as prevention. The researchers don't believe caffeine would help someone who is already depressed."

Funny what they come up with sometimes, isn't it. . . .

Re: Drink some Coffee

I only have one coffee a day and its drowned in frothy milk. I cant stand not having my tea that would depress me. So take it with a pinch of sugar

Re: Drink some Coffee

Take my tea away and I might commit suicide but coffee I have never been keen on.

Re: Drink some Coffee

I'm definitely one who would be suicidal without my coffee...But only first thing in the morning. Two or three cups needed to start my day.

Re: Drink some Coffee

I have to have a cup of tea first thing in the morning then I drink about two cups of coffee before going onto water.

Then when I get home from work have another couple of cups either tea or coffee.

Believe me no one is taking my tea or coffee away from me.

Re: Drink some Coffee

My usual routine is
1. Let dogs out
2. Make bucket of coffee
3. Back to bed to drink coffee and read the news
4. Feed Dogs
5. Make a second bucket of coffee
6. Drink coffee while reading a book
7. Make wife's breakfast and another bucket of coffee
8. Drink coffee while wife eats breakfast - plan our day.
9. Scoop poop and powerwash dogyard
10. Drink more coffee

By this time I am feeling human enough to start the day

At the end of the day I'll usually have a coffee and (if I'm in the mood) a wee dram of single malt.

How does the coffee know when, you got depressed - if you're suicidal, you're depressed ...... .com
