Coffee Benefits #2

“brb, need to pee”

Yeah, coffee you bastard! I drink a lot of water, seriously I’m probably the only person I know who regularly exceeds his recommended 8 glasses a day. This mostly comes from the fact I’m allergic to the squash drinks children are obsessed with, so I grew up drinking water, Diet Coke and fresh orange juice. Add to this a natural diuretic and you go to the lavatory a lot.

You might think this is a bad thing, and it is something to get used to when you start hitting the caffeine, but this does keep me fresh. Rather than being able to slip into just sitting here crawling the internet continuously, I’m now physically forced to take regular breaks. Some might find it ironic that I also take this as an opportunity to go downstairs and get another coffee but it makes sense to me.

I find myself sitting back in my seat at a more upright position, with a new mug of raw bliss and ready to type. This helps cut up my day a bit more. I’m sure everyone knows that YouTube and Wikipedia are good at turning 17 hours into 5 minutes, well that doesn’t happen to me as much now. It just physically isn’t possible. Thank you coffee, I guess.
