Caffinated....

[Steve Jung]

When I was in college, we had a bio lab about kidney function. Some people took salt tablets, some took N-Doz. I was in the caffeinated group. I was so hyper I cleaned my apartment when I got home.

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

I've been a natural insomniac my whole life, sleeping 4-6 hours a night on average.

Add caffeine to the mix? Whoa.

Once, while studying for an exam in Law School, I went to IHOP and ordered the bottomless pot of coffee and a large Iced Tea as my drinks.

I know I had at least 3 glasses of Tea and I finished off at least 1 pot of coffee. When I finally stopped drinking the stuff, my ears were buzzing and my eyes were twitching all over the place. That buzz carried me through the test and several hours after...

 

[Bloosquig]

I was about to say I only drink one cup a day. Then I realized that by cup I mean thermos.

And often i'll drink some rockstars if my day is gonna be longer then the normal 8 hour day. Or if I'm tired. Or the sky is blue.

So is this the thread for the caffeine anonymous group?

 

[Enforcer]

We've got a professional-grade espresso machine at work (it's a restaurant, go figure...) that I and most of my co-workers abuse regularly.

4 large cups of coffee in a span of 8 hours? Not good. I was feeling tired and bored an hour ago but now I'm hyper and un-bored. It'll be a miracle if I can get to sleep by 5 am.

When you do 8 liters of Mountain Dew in 12 hours we'll talk



(if we can understand each other that is.)

[megamania]

Thats a lot of coffee.

compared to my heyday of soda drinking.... ameuter.


That said...I have cut back by force of will and loss of energy to a mere 2-3 liters a day of sugar-free caffine.

 

[megamania]

Hehe, I have not had any major source of caffeine in over a month and I am doing fine. I still have had chocolate, which has some, but no coffeee or soda.

1) chocolate has caffine in it

2) YOU LIE! YOU ARE NOT FINE! You are crazy like the rest of us...just not as loud

I tried quitting caffine this past summer. Got it down to 1 liter but the headaches were killing me and when I developed the shakes I immediately got myself some soda. Much better... calmed my nerves... go figure

That is classic caffeine withdrawal- my Dad goes through that almost every weekend.
