We all have those days when we guzzle five cups of hot black coffee — no cream and no sugar, because we’re SERIOUS, okay? — and then hit up the movie theatre only to vomit everywhere.
The Herald reported that a man in Hastings — Bruce Ellery Royal, who is 43 — went to a movie theatre after getting loaded on caffeine. There, he not only threw up in the entranceway (and apparently helped clean it up), but took four bottles of water out of the concession fridge, drank them, squirted them onto other people, pushed a staffer, head-butted the theatre’s manager dead in the face, and then eventually resisted arrest.
Shortly after, he tripped and was approached by two additional cops, who all struggled to handcuff him.
While this strange tale may make some people laugh at its sheer absurdity, we’re glad to report that Royal was not treated poorly by staff, who extended understanding of the issue.
We each respond differently to caffeine, and of course, environmental, personal, and mental health factors play into the body’s response to caffeine as well.
According to one study, there is a definitive link between that cup o’ joe and anger issues.
“Caffeine works by stimulating the central nervous system, an important part of which is the brain. Coffee, or any other caffeinated beverage, works by tricking the brain into releasing dopamine, serotonin.”
It also went on to say,
Another study found that drinking 1,000 milligrams of coffee a day essentially mimicked the symptoms of anxiety. The thing is, people are addicted to it.
Coffee contains acid, which on an empty stomach or when consumed in high quantities can irritate your stomach lining and cause that horrible about-to-vomit feeling.
If we can learn anything from this weird theatre vomit situation, it’s that stress, in addition to too much caffeine, can do very, very bad things to the body and mind.
Or it can make us feel totally out of whack.
Just don’t head-butt anyone.
