> I cannot abide to hear it run down as bad for your health.

I didn't say it was bad for health as a general statement, I said that there are many people out there who suffer negative health consequences from caffeine consumption, in response to you telling everyone to drink coffee.

I actually like coffee, I have a fancy hand grinder and everything, my body just doesn't handle it well when consumed on a regular basis and I know people who've had to quit because it made their anxiety so bad that they started getting panic attacks. Telling "everyone" to drink coffee because there's no good reason not to is just wrong and careless and potentially dangerous.

"Not everyone should" != "nobody should"





You’re picking at hairs. “Everyone” was being used colloquially by them, not literally.

Fine. Everyone should do pure pharmaceutical-grade [cocaine, opioids, cannabis, nicotine], there's no good reason not to, in moderation.

I mean, we already knew you were being a jerk and being intent on presenting bad faith arguments, but way to really spell it out for us.
