  • Your preferred source of caffeine

    I'm sure many of us enjoy multiple sources. But give your preferred source.

    Lately I've been on a tea kick. It has supplanted my intake from diet sodas. I figure I don't need the chemicals such as aspartame in my body. But I still like some source of caffeine. Tea just seems more natural. I'm still experimenting to see what type I like most. I didn't care for green tea at first, but am now liking it just as much as black tea. I drink tea without sugar as I don't need the calories (it's why I was drinking diet sodas after all).

    I had at once kicked the caffeine habit a about 5 years ago, only to start up again 1.5 years ago. oh well. It was good while it lasted.

      Ah yes, the great soda, tea, and coffee race. I heard about it on ESPN the other day.

      Tea is off to a strong start, but I dunno if they've got the staying power to make it through the race.

          Done.

          And I like soda and coffee for caffeine. I drink tea, but I don't use it for caffeine, but rather for the taste.

            Soda on a regular basis, coffee if I want caffeine.

              Coffee for me.

              However try arizona iced tea for a day in day out drink when back in the states. At the dreaded Wal Mart they have gallons of diet for $3 something.

                Coffee for morning...

                Tea after a big meal or after supper if I need to sleep before midnight.

                Sometimes for exams study I will prefer tea over coffee. Coffee make me hyperactive for studying.

                  I don't care for caffeine... chocolate would be my only source, and I go for chocolate for other reasons.

                    Caffeine has no effect on anyone past 3 weeks of continuous use. Doesn't anyone else use wikipedia?

                        Never heard of caffeine headaches (or should I say lack of caffeine headaches).

                        And maybe it is psychological... but I NEED coffee in the morning to function.

                          You become addicted and so you need it, but it does not give you any stimulation or urges or anything of that nature.

                            Well you said it had "no effect".

                              my body can't handle caffiene, my blood pressure raises and I don't want to go back on the blood pressure pills

                              I use to drink mostly coffee, but tea as well

                              I dislike soda

                              I was never addicted, and it didn't do all that much for me often. I think I use to drink too much (a pot in a couple hours), which might be why I have problems with it now.

                              Low doses (chocolate or decaf) Are generally OK. Even a couple of sips, but the last time I had a couple shots of espresso, it was bad.
