Haha.

So, your theory is that all the humans over the course of history who consume caffeine do so to mask generally bad health?

Can I guess that you yourself don’t drink caffeine?

Not arguing one way or the other, but the comment you replied to did not imply every single caffeine drinker falls into that category

No. I think humans drink caffeine because it's a dopamine agonist and highly addictive.

The longest I've made it is four months. Currently a couple weeks back drinking coffee, about to quit again. It's ridiculously hard.
