I used to drink 32 ounces of coffee every day, then at age 37 every time I drank coffee I felt like I was going to have a heart attack. It must’ve been a synergistic reaction to the high blood pressure medication I was taking at that time.

After two or three trips to the emergency room, I stopped drinking coffee and caffeinated sodas permanently.

Damn. Sometimes I have drank 2dl cup of coffee and then fell asleep in 5 minutes, even if I haven't been active all day . But I'm not yet 30.

Everyone handles drugs differently

But safe to say

Your tolerance goes down with age

For any of them

It's kind fascinating

I became more sensitive to it around age 32

I think it has to do with how slow we metabolize as we get older

Never have any issue with sleep-but I can't kick the stuff. Tried going cold turkey last week-the day with nothing was fine, then the next two days were really bad. By the third day on Saturday I was pretty much climbing up the walls needing chocolate.

Can it be because your metabolism slows down as you age?
