Balzac and his crazy coffee

Balzac's crazy coffee writer Balzac can't work without coffee. No matter where he goes to write, apart from paper and pen, he always takes the coffee pot as the third necessity. The coffee pot he took with him was a kind of "special paper and some special form of pen". Similarly, he also prepared coffee according to his own special cooking method. He has a unique feeling about coffee: "once coffee enters my stomach and intestines, my whole body begins to boil, and my mind is in position, as if a great army has begun to fight on the battlefield."

After five or six hours of continuous writing, his fingers were as numb as a vine, his eyes began to shed tears, his temples had a fever, and his nerves could no longer be tense. Then he enjoyed his only short break-he went to the table, lit the alcohol lamp and made coffee. Like any irritant, a certain dose of coffee gradually loses its efficacy, and Balzac increases the dose. He said that each of his books was finished because of "coffee flowing into a river". "it stimulates my brain for about 15 hours," he said. "it's a dangerous stimulus. It causes terrible pain in my stomach." He has been doing this every day for nearly 20 years, abusing coffee as an irritant, poisoning his whole body, and complaining that it is becoming less and less effective. One statistician estimates that Balzac created a vast "human comedy" and drank about 15000 cups of coffee. These coffees also destroyed Balzac's healthy heart. His friend Dr. Nacogal observed him all his life and believed that coffee was the only cause of Balzac's death. He also seems to have a hunch that he himself "will die in 30,000 cups of coffee".

That's how coffee gets people into it.
