How the hell does anyone drink 40-50 cups of anything without spending half the day going to the toilet? In between brewing coffee and peeing he must have had about 40 minutes a day for writing.

Perhaps he wrote in the Toilet. I can manage very long periods without a pee. Unless Pints are involved, in which case I crack after a couple .

Just one for me, but it’s extra large and core meltdown strength.

If I drink more than 2 cups a day I get really anxious and irritable. 1 or 2 for me.

I’m actually much more mellow than I was a decade ago when I had an adderall prescription. Stuff is very habit forming though, so I figured coffee is enough to overcome my ADD. Plus it’s illegal here, I guess.

Adderall is best avoided if you can help it, anyway. Pretty awful for its side effects. I know too many people who were prescribed it, but whose ADD really wasn’t bad enough to benefit from it. All but the most severe cases seem largely better off without it.

In my case the “cure” was worse than the condition it was treating. I won’t go into specifics, but I’m glad I’m off it and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

Isn’t Adderol just basically legal meth?
