Popular Post Costas2008 Posted June 21, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 21, 2014 For the last 5 years, I have been addicted to the 20Baht or 25Baht ice coffee. Or “Café Bouran” as called in Issan, where I live. The effects of that ice coffee, being full of sugar, evaporated milk, condensed milk, and little coffee are spectacular on me. I have developed, life savers, around my waste and started getting manboobs. But, it tastes sooooooo good, I can’t stop drinking it. Anybody else, in the same situation? Should we have a Coffee Anonymous forum? Please, tell me, I’m not the only one. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWorldwide Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I like iced coffee - Farang-style - but Cafe Yen (sp?) is too sweet for me. They really overdo the condensed milk and that cant be good for you, sadly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses G. Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 i have never understood getting addicted to coffee. I do like the taste with milk and sugar, but that makes most things taste good and black coffee is like medicine to me. I drink coffee to wake up in the morning and that is about it and if I drink it every day, I get headaches for a few days when I stop. To each his own I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sotsira Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Start making your own traditional Frappe like a true Greek would. If you like it sweet then use sweetener instead of sugar, and if you like it with milk then use 0% fat milk. That should cut down the boobs and lifesavers on the waist! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's why I started this thread, to seek help from others, because it is an addiction, and will have repercussions in my future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thakkar Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 i have never understood getting addicted to coffee. I do like the taste with milk and sugar, but that makes most things taste good and black coffee is like medicine to me. I drink coffee to wake up in the morning and that is about it and if I drink it every day, I get headaches for a few days when I stop. To each his own I guess. I don't get the addiction either, though, clearly many *are* addicted. I wonder if it's more psychological than physical. Like you, I like a morning coffee to properly wake myself up. I might have a second one in the afternoon, but not always. Once a year, I go a week without coffee to ensure I can do without. I don't feel any different that week, though am glad to be getting back to my routine at the end of it. The OP has alerted me to something: I usually have my sugarless coffee (with a dash of milk) with something sweet, like a banana or a home-made musli bar, or peanut butter and jelly on toast. During my coffee-less week, I still have that, but with a glass of warm water instead. Could it be that the addiction is to the sweetness, rather than the caffeine?
