I made coffee this morning and the strangest thing happened. I just didn't want to drink hot coffee for some reason. I guess I was really thirsty, but I usually just get a glass of icewater too. I drink my coffee black with no sugar when I have it, I brew it a little strong. I actually have cups that measure exactly one cup that I generally drink it out of.

I figured out I didn't want hot coffee after I'd already poured a cup. So what I did today was fill about an 8-10 oz tea glass with ice and poured my coffee in it, stirred it up untill it was cold, then added a little more water to fill the glass.

Then I guzzled it.

I don't know if the immediate action my eyes had was the result of me absorbing the caffine really fast, or if the reaction was all in my head, but I'm definitely awake now and half way through my second glass.

I'm surely going to remember this one next time I have to run out the door and I'm still sleepy.

Oh yeah I forgot the whole reason I posted this to begin with, does it sound like a bad idea to guzzle a cup of coffee to anyone ?

My opinion would be what's the difference from drinking a cup of ice tea or soda pop or other beverage down really fast that have caffeine in them. You've seen people tip up a can of pop and dang near drink the whole thing in one gulp. But as far as "gulping caffeine" being good for you, I don't know.

Did you experience any blood pressure changes?

I'm not sure.
I should probably not do it anymore for that reason though. My grandparents/parents had/have high blood pressure and still being a good 40lbs overweight myself doing anything that can raise mine can't be good.
It's easy to drink several cups like it's water in a short amount of time when it's cold.
