Hello I'm from India
I used to drink three cups of Americano a day. One time, I almost fell down on the street due to the over-absorbing of caffeine.ð
But I still keep drinking a lot of coffee because it does enhance my working efficiency.

I used to drink coffee when I was younger. Now I quit this habit. In my eye, coffee is a great disappointment, I mean, when you feel the smell of coffee it seems as something tasty, but after you take a sip, it tastes awful. Iâm saying about black coffee without tons of sugar and other ingredients:)ð I prefer matcha tea. It has an invigorating effect too and itâs healthier than coffee.
Thanks for the interesting topic!
With me, i can understand most of script
