Thread: Tell me about you and caffeine

I try an stay away from it entirely.

I would like to avoid it entirely, but it never works out that way. Typically 2-3 times per week I will use caffeine to help me stay awake while studying or, less often, to pick me up the morning after a "long night." When I do use caffeine, I stick with caffeine pills: super cheap, effective, and free of all the sugar and extraneous vitamins. I've always been unusually sensitive to the effects of caffeine, so I can usually get by on taking only half of my 100mg pills, but occasionally I'll take the whole 100mg.

In short, while I would prefer not to use it at all, I'm at least glad that I have my use restricted to a "need" basis rather than a routine basis.

Need it for them all nighters.

anyone else drink yerba mate? i gots my gourd and bombilla from argentina much better for you than coffee.

Used to drink 2 cokes a day, but I've gotten down to just one(on average).
Incidentally, I decided to stop drinking them altogether two days ago to see how I fared.




I still haven't drank one but I felt really restless yesterday and really lethargic today... We'll see what happens.




Note:
Coffee Smell=Pleasing, Good, relaxing
Coffee Taste=Death

lol Grunkie! I understand completely. I don't really like the taste of coffee but I love its smell.

I usually buy at least one 44 oz fountain Coke a day (I usually only drink half of it before the ice melts and makes it flat). The rest of the day I nurse a can of Coke, though I'm trying to acquire a taste for tea and have been drinking it more often.

I'm probably crazy but water seems to dry out (?) my throat. The only thing that really quenches my thirst is Coke... but I am starting to gain weight because of them (diet anything will never happen because I LOATHE the taste of artificial sweeteners).

Oddly enough, I'm not addicted to caffeine. I try to buy caffeine free coke whenever it's affordable and I notice no difference in my mood or alertness.

but you're 17...
