I really fucking hate how sensitive my body’s become to caffeine as I’ve gotten older; even just one cup of coffee puts me at what feels like the prologue to a panic attack, but without the panic attack (thanks Prozac?).
So with that and being sober, I am a fish out of water whenever I visit Germany. “So uh, do you have anything that’s non-caffeinated, non-alcoholic, and um, preferably diet? just water? yeah fine, that’s what I thought.”
As a German: It’s totally normal to order a glass of (soda) water when you’re in a restaurant for example. I personally prefer the good old Apfelschorle when I’m driving, which is not 0g sugar though.
