Have you ever drank so much coffee it feels like you're medicated?

I used to use nicotine patches + coffee and it was basically like being in Ritalin.

If I can drink 1L of coffee inside an hour I'm in the zone

If I can drink 1L of coffee I'm in the bathroom.

A few months ago I had a 250ml energy drink (78mg caffeine) to power through a lab report after avoiding caffeine for a few years and it honestly felt like a more anxious and jittery version of the dexamphetamine I used recreationally a few times back in '18

Oh boy. I have such a terrible relationship with energy drinks. At one point last summer I was drinking like 4 Rockstar's and working 10-14hrs a day.

One day I got home after a long stint of 12hr days (11 in a row?) Shotgunned a beer and almost immediately fainted. My roommate saw me go down and get clotheslined on a lawn chair. He rushed out and got me off the chair. I came to with him standing over me with a very concerned look on his face asking me what happened. (Still very out of it) I said, very dismissively and half pissed off, idk man, I was dreaming!

Fun times. Sore neck.
