I quit caffeine use 3-4 months ago. It screws up my sleeping schedule.

Believe it or not, none of the above. Ever. Never even experimented. Not even with a banana.

You've never drunk soda?

None of the above for me too.

I've been drunk a few times (like 7+ years ago) and occasionally I'll have caffine, but not most weeks. Never done weed or anything else on that list.

Nothing wrong with you Vince.

From Wikipedia:
Caffeine is a plant alkaloid, found in numerous plant varieties, the most commonly used of which are coffee, tea, and to some extent cocoa. Other, less commonly used, sources of caffeine include the plants yerba mate and guaraná, which are sometimes used in the preparation of teas and, more recently, energy drinks. Two of caffeine's alternative names, mateine and guaranine, are derived from the names of these plants.

The world's primary source of caffeine is the coffee bean (the seed of the coffee plant), from which coffee is brewed. Caffeine content in coffee varies widely depending on the variety of coffee bean and the method of preparation used, but in general one serving of coffee ranges from about 40 mg for a single shot (30mL) of arabica variety espresso to about 100 mg for strong drip coffee. Generally, dark roast coffee has less caffeine than lighter roasts since the roasting process reduces caffeine content of the bean. Arabica coffee normally contains less caffeine content than the Robusta variety. Coffee also contains trace amounts of theophylline, but no theobromine. [1]

Tea is another common source of caffeine in many cultures. Tea generally contains somewhat less caffeine per serving than coffee, usually about half as much, depending on the strength of the brew, though certain types of tea, such as black and oolong, contain somewhat more caffeine than most other teas. Tea contains small amounts of theobromine and slightly higher levels of theophylline than coffee.

Caffeine is also a common ingredient of soft drinks such as cola, originally prepared from kola nuts. Soft drinks typically contain about 10 mg to 50 mg of caffeine per serving. By contrast, energy drinks such as Red Bull contain as much as 80 mg of caffeine per serving. The caffeine in these drinks either originates from the ingredients used or is an additive derived from the product of decaffeination or from chemical synthesis. Guarana PMID 16533867, a prime ingredient of energy drinks, contains large amounts of caffeine with small amounts of theobromine and theophylline in a naturally occurring slow-release excipient.

Chocolate derived from cocoa is a weak stimulant, mostly due to its content of theobromine and theophylline, but it also contains a small amount of caffeine [2]. However, chocolate contains too little of these compounds for a reasonable serving to create effects in humans that are on par with coffee. A typical serving of a milk chocolate bar (28g) has about as much caffeine as a cup of decaffeinated coffee.

Finally, caffeine may also be purchased in most areas in the form of pills that contain from 50mg to 200mg. Caffeine pills are regulated differently by different nations. For example, the European Union requires that a warning be placed on the packaging of any food whose caffeine content exceeds 150 mg per litre. In many other countries, however, caffeine is classified as a flavouring and is unregulated.

Vince, are you telling me you've never, ever consumed coffee, tea, cola-based soft drinks or black concentrated (>50% cocoa) chocolate?

[Donegeal]

no... they are saying its less than once a week...

Voted, yes. Wrote? No.

Edit: Edited the post before yours... Thanks for the correction.

Here, this is what is implied:

I drink coffee every morning and I take Etodolac, an NSAID, for arthritis every day.

[PLATO]

Well let's see...Since the little heart problem and the stent placement:

No more cigs
No more caffine
Occasional alcohol seems to be okay though...hmmm
No NSAID's

However...I'm good with:
Omacor
Aceon
Plavix
Toprol
Lipitor
Asprin



Little things like nearly dying sure puts all kinds of drug use in a new perspective!!



Oh...and just a quick little reformed smoker statement: If you smoke...it will kill you. It is just a matter of time.

Not all has caffeine. Same goes for tea, which I enjoy.

Why is everyone overlooking that caveat?

Which reminds me, I've never required prescription medicines either. I also went through an entire 20 year military career without any illness, sickness, medicine, injury, or hospitalization. (Now I'm beginning to scare myself ).

I'm not saying I'm 100% vice free either.

[Traianvs]

I don't drink soft-drinks or coffee. Coca-cola tastes like expired cough syrup ever since I quit it about 2 years ago.

on the other hand i'm an alcohol type 3 dude seeing I'm quite drunk most weekdays, but I wouldn't qualify myself as an addict. During exams etc I only drink a glass of wine or so perhaps at dinner.

weed is pretty normal around here too, but it's mostly in combination with alcohol

the rest doesn't interest me, I never use painkillers, medical drugs and the like unless I'm in the hospital for an operation. Luckily that doesn't happen often

[Vince278]

I must caution everyone against admitting to any current illegal activity here.
