What’s funny to me is the degree to which i perceive people’s denial that caffeine and coffee get you incredibly high.

I’m not sure if this is what you exactly meant by euphoric, but I sometimes experience similar things, and I find it funny that “don’t talk to me until I’ve had my cup of coffee” is a negatively phrased statement of “I’m gonna get high on caffeine then I’ll enjoy this conversation more”- as if society wants to deny the psychotropic effects of drinking this drink.

That's not an accurate characterization. Don't talk to me until I've had my coffee is as much a statement about morning low body temperature/thirst and morning ritual as it is about caffeine addiction. There's a reason that warm showers in the morning wake you up and invigorate you. Plus coffee is delicious.

for me it's because I need my withdrawal from addiction rectified first.

coffee is delicious? caffeine is literally toxic and as most toxins, it's feels bad when you first try it

sometimes i drink (good) coffee and it's pleasant but probably because when i do, i know i'll get high... also i don't eat sugar except with fruits

For people with high daily intake it’s not so much that they want to get “high” on coffee to enjoy the conversation, as it is that their brain is in acute caffeine withdrawal and they will feel so shitty with coffee that they won’t be able to participate in conversation very well.
