ive been drinking coffee for a few years now... recently ive been trying to quit because of the negative effects on my digestion(which is seems to turn off) and because ive heard that caffeine decreases bloodflow to certain parts of the brain.. among various other negative things.
the thing is, almost everytime i drink coffee i feel much more motivated and happier. i want to hug people i was mad at an hour before, i dont mind doing repetative tasks at work that i normally cant stand, im much more social, more creative...
ive noticed this effect is much more pronounced with coffee as opposed to caffein in energy drinks or guarana pills.
what i wanna know is WHY coffee has this effect, and if i can mimic it with *SAFE* non physically addictive substances (coffee withdrawl headache sucks)
