Only option for me at my workplace is either coffee (undrinkably bitter) or expired tea (tastes like rot). Did not have enough time yesterday to make myself tea for the next day and the shop where I buy energy drinks is closed. I extremely drownsy and my head hurts.

EDIT: Coffee is undrinkable to me, quality or not. The bitterness will just overpower everything.

      Ah, well, I think if I was in your situation, I’d probably just make a strong shot of coffee regardless and have some water ready to chase it with.

      Just think of it as medicine, I suppose. That often tastes unpleasant too, but you’re having it for the effect not the taste.

      I think I’d literally take anything (safe to consume) if it would get rid of a headache I was experiencing regardless of what it tasted like.
