How do I survive a work day without caffeine?
-
As the other commenter said, painkillers and hydration will help
You can offset the bitterness of the coffee with milk and sugar. If you're getting headaches, it's probably just worth trying to grin and bear the coffee.
Failing that maybe something like Uber eats could do you a grocery delivery to wherever you are with some supplies
For the future, maybe try and drop your consumption a little bit, sounds like you're probably smashing it a bit, and to avoid a similar scenario perhaps keep some caffeine pills in your bag for emergencies

Does not work for me for some reason.

Only option for me at my workplace is either coffee (undrinkably bitter) or expired tea (tastes like rot). Did not have enough time yesterday to make myself tea for the next day and the shop where I buy energy drinks is closed. I extremely drownsy and my head hurts.
EDIT: Coffee is undrinkable to me, quality or not. The bitterness will just overpower everything.
Buy a pack of Mio energy?

Some over the counter painkiller to get rid of the headache if you can.
Just take a shot of the coffee in the morning to avoid the headache. I don't know how bitter it has to be for you to prefer a headache over it.

Buy a thermos. Make and bring your own coffee.

Drink water. A lot of it. It won't replace the caffeine, but it will make the day more bearable.
Maybe ask a coworker if they have any painkillers for the headache.Many painkillers come with caffeine added too.

In the long run, weaning yourself off caffeine and getting enough sleep will make you healthier overall.

Make your own coffee or try caffeine pills. I had to cut back on coffee for a bit due to some stomach issues and the pills work just fine.

Caffeine pills also exist. Just be careful to not use too much of it

You are likely experiencing drowsiness & headaches because you're not getting enough sleep. Happens to me too when I get less than 7 hours of sleep.

Either have the bitter shit and suffer for a little or don't and suffer longer.

Caffeine consumption also contributes to poor sleep.

Have you put sugar in coffee? I'm very sensitive to bitter, and always had to put quite a bit of sugar in to cancel out the bitterness.

Yeah when I quit coffee it took me two weeks to feel normal again, but I got the money off my back!

Excedrin is one of the more popular brand names. They're specifically advertised for headaches.

Hot chocolate if they got it. If you are used to hot coffee you may miss the warm feeling you get drinking it.
