It's the best drug available. We all know it.

What's your caffeine intake of choice?

I personally like to double-brew my coffee, and then put it over a bunch of ice (basically 1:1 coffee:ice). Rarely do I put milk in it, usually just black iced coffee is my preference.

When I'm in a rush, energy drinks. Preferably Monster, but the Rockstar flavored ones are pretty good (the bubbleberry one tastes like sour bubblegum or something. Fantastic.) I know they're not good for you, but eh, they prevent a lot of sleepiness/uncomfortability, so.. What're you gonna do.

God love you all!! The four basic food groups: Caffeine, Nicotine, Carbohydrates, and Preservatives. Whe know them, we love them. Without them, life would be a sentence. I'm actually looking at (speaking of shiny things) a Behmor 1600 coffee roaster...OH, yeah, taking it up a step! PS you buds, I get coffee from an awesome online store called coffeeforless, 5 lbs at a time, and free shipping.:party:

I stick with the tried and true. Coffee at home and at work, NoDoz, when I'm out at the bar/club. I don't trust energy drinks and all the extra stuff they add to them.

Yeah I mean, among other things, they're really horrible for your teeth, and who knows what they're doing to my insides (it's probably not good), but it's a matter of being comfortable for me. When I'm tired, I'm uncomfortable, usually unreliable, prone to making mistakes.. When I'm tired, I'm more likely to do something dumb.

Don't know if that makes it a worthy sacrifice.

Today I'm drinkin' some iced coffee. Got the beans at Fairways, they're like "Caramel Nut" or something. Unfortunately, was out of whole milk, so I used some fat free.. Kinda ruined it for me. Bad move. We have whole milk at work. Shoulda just waited. Drinking it anyway though. Need the caffeine.

Good morning. :p

I'm literally the only person I know that doesn't have a caffeine addiction. I only started drinking a cup of coffee in the morning about 5 months ago. I drink soda on occasion, but my favs have no caffeine lol Apparently I'm the odd (wo)man out.

Heh. My close friend had a really gnarly caffeine addiction.

When he finally did quit, he experienced serious withdrawal-like symptoms. Sweats, migraines, and in about 10 days he lost 14 pounds. Mind you, he was like a 8-cup-a-day coffee drinker, and would often use a French press or other fancy contraptions to brew his coffee (in order to get the MOST caffeine out of each cup).

yeah I was just saying how I haven't had caffeine in like 2 years, but not for the sake of avoiding caffeine. At one point, I omitted everything I thought could possibly contribute to animal testing, and a lot of the stuff in soda fell under that umbrella, but then I realize the colorings, caffeine etc was probably already tested on animals and some people might continue to test on animals regardless if I buy soda or not, but after like 1.5 year of no caffeine, I just stuck with it. Nicotine is definitely a stimulant though. I never really noticed a stimulus from caffeine though, probably because so used to it. I never really liked coffee, but liked coffee ice cream, I had tea every once a while but soda like 3 timess a day, now I just drink water with everything even stir fry etc and got used to it.

when redbull came out, I thought it was disgusting, but took a liking to other brands but just had maybe one a month for a year or two. I worked like 17 hours one day busted my ... and drank two giant 99 cent Arizona energy drinks, probably smoked like 10 cigarettes, hours later, I could barely walk, I felt like I had a fever or something. so a 6 year old can go to 7-11, chug a few energy drinks on a hot day, and die, and that's perfectly legal but they want to ban e cig? I don't think it's possible to willingly sit there and vape to the point of sickness or death without stopping at the first signs, unless you were vaping like 70MG. The energy drinks can hit you hours later and it's too late to puke it out. The probably just want to regulate e cigs for taxes.

I don't know how this guy can drink all those energy drinks, let alone eat all that food
