Maybe I hallucinated drinking that last pot of coffee by myself

This is not good news for someone like me.

LONDON (AFP) – People who drink more than seven cups of coffee a day tend to hallucinate more than less caffeine-driven colleagues, according to a study published Wednesday.

Article also says we coffee-addicts are more likely to hear non-existent voices, as well.

Scientist says it's probably not a cause and effect thing.  But I should look into it.  And I will.  Right after I have another cup of coffee.

I just brewed a fresh pot.

At least, I think I did.

Did I?

I must have.

I can hear it calling me.

Yeah, and scientists in the Netherlands found out that coffee will make your boobs shrink (provided that you're female). Fun coffee facts!

That's a lot of coffee!

I drink a fair amount of tea, but coffee not so much. (I have to add so much milk and sugar it stops being a beverage and becomes a dessert.) The one time I was drinking a cup (a cup!) a day of coffee, I saw my blood pressure and cholesterol both go up. Not good!

I do need to have a bit of caffeine in my day - partly because I'm addicted to it and get the headaches if I don't have some - but also to desensitize me to its effects. Once I tried going caffeine-free, but slipped and had a caf mocha - the effect was to trigger a panic attack. When I'm on a one or two cup a day schedule, an extra cup doesn't have that effect. When I'm not, it does.

Thank god. I thought they were acid flashbacks.

You speak as if hallucinations are a bad side effect.

(I'm inclined to argue that tit-shrinking isn't a bad effect either—"more than a handful's a waste," as someone tells the villain in It—but YMMV there, whereas my hallucinatory world where George H.W. Bush was sane and said, "No, you may not play with my Rolodex" to The Prodigal Son is certainly A Better Place to Be.)

Of course you heard it. That's why it's called Mister Coffee.
