They make tea with extra caffeine in it. Almost as potent as coffee!

if I were given a glass of ice water, I’d give it an extra squirt of lemon juice

Caffeine withdrawal can cause severe headaches.

Maybe the family will finally revolt against her reign of food and drink terror.

Boy, talk about manipulative. She just pulled it on him with no warning, instead of having a discussion about it first.

Andi should have gently weaned coffee from her husband or at least provide him with a similar substitute.

I’m drinking a coffee called Jet Fuel. Really good.

Grounds for divorce…

This is “grounds” for divorce!!

Worst wife ever.

I finished my second cup of coffee while reading this. Peet’s “Major Dickason’s Blend”. Hand ground and made in an Aero Press. Black.

People who like coffee pay attention to detail. Including the detail of how much is in the house. He now knows she can’t be trusted, so he will make sure he picks up coffee on his own, even if she does the rest of the shopping.

Switch to the Monster Rehab teas. More effective. And on days when you’re having even more trouble waking up, have a 5-Hour Energy shot too.

So glad I’ve never been able to stand that swill.

I think that would be “grounds” for divorce.

I hope this doesn’t lead to a domestic disturbance.

I used to drink so much coffee that a doctor friend swore that it caused heart arrhythmias, so we did an experiment. I abstained from all forms of caffeine for 24 hours. I dragged myself to the hospital on Saturday morning where he took my vital signs. Blood pressure and pulse were low but not excessively so and the EKG was normal.

I would drink a cup of coffee and we would recheck 5 minutes later, wait 15 minutes and repeat. After 2 cups my blood pressure was 120/80, pulse was 68 and the EKG textbook perfect. There it remained for an additional 10 cups of coffee.

His conclusion was that — for me — coffee does not cause heart arrhythmias. As a secondary diagnosis, he said that it would be highly unlikely for me to get a bladder infection. There are salmon that can’t swim upstream against a torrent the likes of which a dozen cups of coffee provides.

I’m now down to two cups a day – after I work out and walk my 4 miles.

Andy needs that cold water poured over her head. Roger could cut back or quit coffee, but he needs to taper off to avoid splitting headaches.

He’ll probably also get a headache if he doesn’t get his caffeine fix

Next on the News, mother and wife from dead with coffee pot as the weapon.

The headaches that result from caffeine withdrawal are nothing compared to the headaches resulting from being married to Andi.

Just beat her to death. No court would convict you. Dumb bitch!

Andy you are doing wrong way on Roger for coffee. Though I would not take coffee away from coffee drinkers, it be the coffee drinkers have to do that.

Her intention is good but her method needs a lot of work……

No one…comes between…my coffee…and me.

I had a minor health issue. The Doctor said they didn’t have any official medicine, but 3 cup of coffee a day was found to be therapeutic. It worked. So 10 years ago I started drinking coffee. Life has been better since. So don’t touch my coffee!

As Bugs Bunny said:

“ In case you don’t realize it, this is war”.

Time for guerilla tactics, Roger.

I think the MacPherson kids have come up with some great alternatives to coffee.

I wonder if a situation like this was the reason Starbucks was created.

over the years of reading this comic I’ve concluded that I just don’t like her. She really is a horrible wife, partner, and parent. She allows her family to freeze in the winter because she won’t turn up the heat OR improve the insulation, she cooks disgusting food thinking that it’s “healthy” when it’s really just saturated in excess vitamins that they’re going to piss out anyway (literally, that’s what happens when you take too much of a vitamin) and makes unilateral decisions for others without giving them any say. This would be funny if she was a comedically stupid character like Homer Simpson or Peggy Hill, but she presents as a pretty intelligent person so it comes off more egotistical and even malicious at times.

Splash his face; maybe then his eyes will open.

Only if you throw it in his face!

next time roger goes shopping he should buy what he wants to eat, and when andy complains just reply that her selection was making him irritable.

Andy, just give him decaf and don’t tell him different!

Nobody have the right to mess with a working man’s coffee. Andy is walking on deep waters…

Dump it on her, Rog!! The manipulative witch deserves it.

Imagine Roger forced her to eat meat

Caffeine is one of only a few things that will help my kiddo’s migraines. Unfortunately, that means she can’t have it very often or it will stop working.

Have a punch in the head !

The woman is cruel and heartless .

“Have a refreshing glass of water”? Sounds like she’s from the planet Twilo.

I can see she never stood a Mid-Watch. The Mid-Watch pretty much requires at least 4 cups to get through, well, maybe 6.

This is my problem… everyone is always trying to fix me, especially at the worst times, like in the morning.

I’m glad I never ever got caught in the clutches of coffee addiction
