Alcohol and Coffee are fine and which one is better?

[Ulti]

I’m surprised no one has mentioned green tea….much better than coffee and alcohol  

I get 1st cut shincha green tea sent from Japan .. not that expensive.. Taste great

and , been doing it for years .. Also have been using an Oura rings since they came out/ tea has no effect on deep sleep / rem readings

modern studies on alcohol consumption basically show a linear correlation with mortality.

 

I have found if you simply flip the chart upside down, it becomes a lot more comforting

Do you mind if I ask for a recommendation - Where do you buy from?

I switch from coffee to green tea about noon everyday.  I switch to water after 5pm.  My average day:

 

before noon:  2-3 cups of coffee.

12pm-5pm: 2-3 cups green tea.

after 5pm: 2-3 cups water.

all their teas and matcha are excellent… I’ve been a bit of a snob for years and like them very much

That's not a bad idea!  But then no one serves dim sum after 12pm Monday to Friday!    Cheers!

That’s awesome I’ll have to try… but I’m partial to the green tea shincha …. Especially with all the long term data of the health benefits behind it…… and I admit I cheat a little and add some Manuka honey in the am for a kickstart

That's all I buy...Manuka honey...absolutely delicious!  It's ok if you add a little to your tea.  Cheers!

Ever since I switched to a manual coffee grinder, I'm down to 1 cup a day. Like you, I switch the green tea until noon - 2pm. Then water until bed. 

 

I think I've read/heard the "Why we sleep" author saying no caffeine after noon to get the majority out of your system before bed time.

Average day, not every day.  I make exceptions.  I prefer Oolong Tea with my dim sum.
