The lighter side of ADHD
And in peak adhd, I almost uploaded the wrong image entirely with the wrong title. Why? Because I was paying attention to something else.
Just kill me!
I hate most Starbucks drinks but I gotta say the Java chip frappuccino really hits all three for me. I rarely ever drink them but every now and then it's like, I need the Holy Trinity of beverages.
Hydro Homies with ADHD use water for all 3!
I'm a programmer so I use coffee for all 3.
The fun drink might be more crucial for adhd than the coffee, if it's a sugary drink. People with adhd tend to have lower levels of glucose in the brain and benefit from little boosts.
Get out of my head!
I'm tired of the constant pissing
Hey, some of us enjoy it!
This is how I got into mixed drinks, no noke
I feel like I'm always carrying water around, but never actually drinking it... I know I should drink more water, so I always keep it available; but I always lean towards something sweet/flavored instead. Particularly pop/iced tea.
I had the same issue but many a moons ago I was watching Sassy Gay Friend and they were advertising this new thing. So new that they couldnt' afford real advertisements. Mio. Now, Mio has gotten shit since but the liquid flavor enhancer stuff I SWEAR BY. I always have it in my water and I go through a lot more water due to it.
Is that healthy? No fuckin' clue but I drink way more water now so it's a trade off. Literally been years of using this shit. My god over a decade. I'm old as fuck.
And no not an advertisement for Mio because I am not getting paid. I wish I was getting paid so I could afford their competitors. Honestly I like the Great Value ones personally but Crystal Light is nice too. Their pomegranate one is tasty
I've tried a few of those flavor additives for water, but every one I've tried has artificial sweeteners in it that I can't get past the taste of. Aspartame in particular is the only thing I can taste when it's in a drink. Sucralose is another one that just ruins flavor.
That and I like my caffeine, but I'm not big on coffee...
I appreciate the suggestion though :)
Optimization time: Do you know that vodka consists of 60% water? So it is a cool combination of water and "fun"! Vodka and coffee from now on!
Switch to only drinking White Russians, and you get you coffee, water and fun in a single drink! (Plus lots of proteine from the cream, so it's even healthy!)
This is a great way to kickstart alcoholism
Says you. I call it a great way to kickstart Tuesday.

Coffee is made with water, so you can even combine the two again for a single drink. Think of the time savings....
Although. Now that I think of it, for the best flavor, you'd want to brew the coffee double strength and then add a few shots of vodka. Which given the extra steps has zero time savings over just a glass of water and a black coffee.
I'm pretty sure I have more than 3 and it's not for that reason. It's because I got more drink in a new cup forgetting I already had half a drink right in front of me. 😬
I cut it down to just coffee and water. My phone keeps my brain “happy.”
I constantly have water with me. I also will generally have a soda or energy drink at some point, and then I usually end up with some kind of juice or milk because I forgot that I still hadn't finished my soda.
Hmm… I don’t drink coffee. Maybe I should start.
I drank eight cups of coffee every day for like six years at my last job. Then COVID hit and I didn’t drink much because I took a couple years off. Now I CANNOT drink coffee because it makes my body feel like my heart is going to explode. Adderall is fine, cocaine is fine. But caffeine RUINS me for hours of horrible unpleasantness. It’s wild.
It really depends on your flavor of attention deficit.
My personal brand never really came with the hyper activity. So while stimulants like caffeine sort of help, they mostly just don't seem to do anything.
My hyperactivity is mainly mental only. Brain going a million miles per hour without really being able to focus on any of it and never any downtime.
This broke me
laughs in cola addiction
Of course I also start the day with a liter of tea
And then I proceed to forget to drink any of them and wonder why I’m exhausted by the middle of the afternoon
Or you switch to caffeinated seltzer, because fuck you, brain. Fuck you, body. Not coffee, not water, not sugar, just do your fucking job and maybe we'll get snacks later.
I can't be the only one who puts them all in the same (lidded) cup, right? Because if there's more than one I will knock one over.
