Are you loading your coffee with sugar?
I'm not sure why it would benefit to quit otherwise. Itvactually has health benefits.

Also your first morning to sit down to pee
No, just creamer. I just feel like it makes me pretty wired during the day. I'm already a guy who's pretty energized most of the day, so I've just been weighing the benefits. One benefit I see is probably a slight drop in blood pressure, but I read one study that says coffee is generally the number one source of antioxidants for many people who drink it. I guess you could say I have mixed feelings about dropping it, or the idea of dropping it.
Well if you drop it @BluegrassPoke has a place for you to work
I believe there is resrarch showing it reduces the chances of or slows the progression of dementia.
Also once a day espresso will help with cleaning the liver. I used to put a bunch of sugar in my coffee then I grew up and only drink it black now. Sugar is the killer when it comes to coffee drinks. Even creamer has a ton of sugar in it.
I've heard the same. I think it has its benefits. To be honest, my feeling is that I enjoy it too much to quit entirely. I could see myself going to one cup a day or a few cups a week. My first day with no coffee feels a bit less jittery, based on initial feelings. I do enjoy the buzz that coffee brings, however.
I'm going to type this slowly..... back away from the keyboard and contact a loved one. Tell them you're having insane thoughts and may need some time away at a nervous hospital. They'll help you address these things and get you back to your right self soon.
I'm sending a $50 Starbucks card for when you get out.
coffee is fine
as been mentioned it's all the crap people put in it
kinda like oatmeal it's great for you til people load it up with butter and brown sugar

When I go to Starbucks I get the flat white. Man that is an impressive cup of joe. It only has 160 cal in the tall size also. When I am having a bad afternoon I get this with an extra shot of espresso. My personal record for most espresso consumed in a day was 8 shots. Did it by 3pm and it was about the closest I have come to legal coke.
I do tend to take the weekend off with coffee though.

Benefits would probably have to do with acid reflux. If you don't have it I don't see many positives of quitting. I think in general caffeine is not healthy.
A quick google search yields at least some topics for conversation.
Lower blood pressure
Decreased anxiety
Better sleep
Its not exactly accurate to say there is no benefit of quitting coffee.

if you have
high blood pressure and anxiety
which results in
poor sleep habits then it's probably time to re-evaluate your life and the way you live it...
you got bigger problems than a cup of coffee
You might be right, but in this topic we are talking about coffee. I've cut mine down to one cup today (from probably 3-4 usually) and I can tell a difference in the way I feel. I can certainly understand how people can report the benefits mentioned above.
It's obviously a personal choice, the mild pushback you're getting is probably because most people don't experience the negative consequences listed above so can't relate. If it's bothering you, cut back.
I'm in my mid 50's and I just started drinking coffee for realz about 4 months ago. I drink about a 16oz cup first thing in the morning. Which is very early. Only on workdays. I think it helps oil the squeaky knees, etc....almost starting to taste ok.
