caffeine pills are easier to find. they come in the hundreds and then they’re just in your bag or coat or whatever.
essential for travel in my opinion. no running around in the morning trying to find a good coffee or suffering through the awful hotel room coffee maker.
A good cup of coffee is better than the pill, but often the pill is better than the coffee that is around and readily available
I have to disagree. Nearly all stores that sell caffeine pills, gas stations and pharmacies mostly, will also sell coffee in some form. Many workplaces, offices in particular, will have coffee available for free to employees. Even many waiting rooms and lounges at airports, train stations, even the lobby of the local mechanic have coffee available. Plus pretty much all restaurants and bars will have coffee.
If you limit yourself to only ‘good’ coffee then you may have a harder time, but that’s really got more to do with your personal preference than availability.
You’ve got a point that pills are easier to carry once you’ve got them, and your money goes a longer way with them. And they’re obviously easier than making a coffee yourself. To be clear, I’ve got no problem with pills, they just aren’t my go-to.
Are you really unable to function without caffeine to the point this be running around wasting your morning looking for a coffee?
It’s really interesting to me that it’s socially acceptable to be unable to deal without caffeine, and the source of many “light hearted” jokes about “ooooh, you don’t wanna meet me before my morning coffee!”.
I don’t think it’s necessarily a very bad thing but have you ever considered it and thought wow, I’m carrying my drugs with me in case I can’t get my drugs drink?
