Discussion on: Coffee drinkers: Do you take breaks?

I feel like weekends and vacations are when I can mostly get away from it due to additional sleep and less urgency to get going in the mornings.

The amount of sleep I get and my lunch break can heavily influence if I drink it daily and how much. Heavy lunch = potential food coma and a need for a second cup. ☕

My problem is that weekend and vacation coffee is the best coffee!!

It may not be as needed, but what beats coffee on vacation?

Actually agree with you especially on vacation when I tend to try something new from local coffee shops but I usually don't go out of my way to find these places.

I would also think doing something fitness related could be an alternative to going straight for the coffee in the mornings although I have not been able to stay consistent with that so I can't be the main advocate for it.

The best kind of "detox vacation" would probably be something where you put yourself in a scenario of nature/outdoors/etc. where the stimulus is different, the mood is different, etc. and the perks/addiction of coffee are less gripping.

I agree with this sentiment, I usually end up suffering from a smashing headache by the Sunday afternoon due to the caffeine withdrawal.
