For I have known them all already, known them all:
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons, 50
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
I know the voices dying with a dying fall
Beneath the music from a farther room.

Hegel, the negation matters:

coffee without milk =/= coffee without cream

coffee is incomplete, it needs a supplement: cream..., but coffee can be it's own supplement as well

it's really a nice example of a hegelian dialectical point

actually it seems to be the opposite

I drink black coffee and every male I've ever respected doesn't; take, for example, Winston Wolf from Pulp Fiction: "lotsa milk, lotsa sugar"

it seems, the real indicator of a man is to not be afraid to do non manly things

as implied, those who are always worried about manliness are in actuality something lesser in the process

I do drink black coffee every morning, but sometimes enjoy mid day tea, or coffee with milk, or coffee with a little bit of cream. When I go to a coffee shop I typically get a latte or a cappucino, because I enjoy them and can't make them at home.

I don't think there is anything gender specific about beverage preferences.

I do think that most people who "hate black coffee" are used to very weak light roast folgers, which essentially needs milk and sugar to even be drinkable.

All kinds, in more moderation now that I'm busy with work. I never take anything that will leave me anything but 100% for work the next morning.

Weed most days.
Adderall on the weekends sometimes.
Very occasionally a beer, glass of wine, or some liquor. Haven't been "hammered" in years.
Cigarettes.
Mushrooms, LSD, Mescaline, DMT if I can ever find some of that shit again
Oxycodone
Ketamine on rare occasion
MDMA or MDA if I can find a clean supply. It's kind of like LSD, in that I can find plenty of "Molly" or plenty of "double dipped super potent acid bro" but very little actual MDMA, MDA, or LSD.
Kratom was fun for a while, but the last 2 times I did it (over a year ago) I got really lightheaded and just didn't enjoy the feeling. Still have like 100 grams of it that someone tossed me a while ago sitting around.

I've done more drugs than these, but these are drugs that I've done while maintaining an "adult lifestyle" you could say.

Also, if you can't tell, I'm on adderall right now, enjoying the fuck out of typing this out. Cheers bud.

That's what's coming to mind for now. I'm pretty much open to try most mind altering substances, provided I can prove the quality of the drug, and I'm in a good setting and a good mood.

Minor undesired symptoms from caffeine ingestion not sufficiently severe to warrant a psychiatric diagnosis are common, and include mild anxiety, jitteriness, insomnia, increased sleep latency, and reduced coordination.[53][28] Caffeine can have negative effects on anxiety disorders.[54] According to a 2011 literature review, caffeine use is positively associated with anxiety and panic disorders.[55] At high doses, typically greater than 300 mg, caffeine can both cause and worsen anxiety.[56]

The barista's nose ring glistens
As she turns to call my name
My Sumatra blend,
An experience, not a commodity,
Moves from one hand to the next.

The simple Indonesian farmer
Who brought these beans to life
Could never appreciate
The earthy, herbal notes
And rich, complex finish
The way we do.

That's what her eyes tell me
In the fleeting moment
My hand brushes hers
As she passes me his blood.
