    Hah! Wrong!

    I don’t need coffee to give me energy - at this point I need it to just manage basic consciousness.

      It’s literally how coffee (caffeine) works. You build immunity to it super fast (about a week) so you need your normal dose to feel just normal.

      Good news is that you can withdraw just as quick if you want, and afterwards coffee goes back to giving you a kick of energy. Unless you drink it daily, then back to square one.

        I will happily settle for “barely conscious” if it means I get to have coffee every day.

        I save caffeine for the weekends and always thought it made me feel awesome. Now I know why.
