Not as much as black tea, but yes.

Because books.

Green has very little caffeine in it. I don't love green, though. I like the peatiness of strong black tea. Like, assam.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

That is really weird (the coffee thing). I sort of hate doctors right now, though.

The week or so I am working full tilt at the theater, I drink so much coffee that I have a horrible time getting back to normal coffee intake. I think that might be the source of my headache and nausea.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

While I'm in the coffee=life camp for myself, I don't see it having a major therapeutic effect on people who aren't already addicts. At least ita can get it without an ER trip or a prescription, but that's also true for jellybeans. Doesn't mean they're gonna fix a major health issue.

Or, what Jesse said.

Also, if I drank that much tea, I would be peeing non-stop. Tea makes me have to pee a lot more than coffee does.

I have anywhere between five and twenty cups of tea a day.

I do pee a lot, but I've also cultivated a pretty high-volume bladder, because I'm lazy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

This is cool!

D’espresso by Nemaworkshop

This espresso bar to be located near Grand Central Station in New York was designed by New York studio Nemaworkshop to resemble a library turned on its side.

Called D’espresso, the interior has been rotated 90 degrees so that one wall features herringbone-pattern wooden flooring while the opposite wall will have pendent lights protruding horizontally.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Caffiene/coffee as a treatment for migraines is not exactly unknown. Hell, that's what Excedrin Migraine is. Whether it'll help ita at all is another question (for some people it's a trigger) but it's hardly out there.

That said, it does seem like an early "try this first" attempt, rather than a likely option for someone who has been so through so many attempts at treatment already.

Sophia, I had a friend who had to cut back on coffee because she drank it all day, and it was really messing with her stomach. I forget what her doctor said, though, in terms of why. But that could be your problem.

hip deep in pie

Coffee is acidic and totally messes with my stomach. I've had to cut back to one or two a week. I am writing this still partially asleep.

ETA: Tea is also acidic and black tea does a number on my tum too.
