I have made a tactical error.

So, all day at the punk show, I was drinking a mixed that they called a "screw-covid", which is whiskey + cold brew + almond milk + honey + cinnamon, and was WONDERFUL... and I kept drinking them, because they were delicious and I was doing fine!

I can't drink espresso drinks anymore, because they don't agree with my heart or nerves, but I can handle 1 cup of coffee...

...

I cannot handle 6 mixed cold-brew drinks, apparently. I could handle the whiskey just fine, but about an hour after the show, I had a MASSIVE panic attack/anxiety spike from too-much-caffeine, and had to head home in the middle of dinner and lay down.

I can't drink coffee like that, anymore, and today was a reminder of that.

... I severely miss coffee...

I was not informed that this was a part of getting old, and I want a refund.

@Felthry

I can, but it was not available. The cold brew involved with that mixer drink was pre-made.

Also, I completely did not think about it, at the time I was drinking, because the whiskey was masking the coffee's/caffeine's effect.

I felt it after I stopped drinking.
