    Your caffeine consumption

    I hate to say it. But after 2 years off caffeine, I'm back on. . I need some right now, but don't keep any in the house. I'll get some when I get to work. The main reason I got off was I was led to believe it helped reduce anxiety. But I didn't see any noticable effect.

    Right now I only drink a little less than 12 oz of diet coke a day. But I'm sure that will be increasing. I used to drink those big 1 liter Mt. Dews. I lived on mt. dew in the navy. and when I'm really tired I go to coffee. Sometimes I drink tea as well.

    How much caffeine do you all consume? I'd make it a poll, but am too tired to think of poll options.

    Caffeine is much better than other drugs.

    I drink Mountain Dew. I used to drink the stuff constantly, but an office job and a lack of small bills has seemed to limit my consumption.

    I generally drink about thirty ounces of dew a day. No other caffeine for me.

      I'm still on the diet though. One reason I lost all that weight was because I cut my soda consumption (I also reduced my food intake). I admit falling for one of those internet stories about nutra sweet back in 1999. That's before I learned not to trust anything on the internet. As far as I know, there are no adverse effects of aspartame. though I've heard stuff about memory loss which worries me. But I'll probably just continue drinking diet coke.

        I drink 4 cups of coffee x day. I'm cutting it down to 2.

        I don't know how you guys can drink that crap, soft drinks I mean. I like coke or pepsi when I eat junk food, which is quite rare.

          Generally zero. I don't go out of my way to avoid it, but I never crave it. I don't often have soft drinks (maybe a glass or two of iced tea a week), can't stand coffee, and only have hot tea if I'm in an Asian restaurant for dinner.

            A lot... a cup of coffee and at least 4-5 Coke Zeros a day.

                I usually drink one or two cups of coffee a day. I occasionally drink more than that, when I have to stay up long hours, or when I'm doing commie work (coffee is an excellent prop in a social setting)

                      As I said in the drugs thread, caffeine just don't have any effect on me, so I don't consume it to get the "effect"... I only consume it when I want something nice to drink (like Coca Cola ), which I get about once per week
                      This space is empty... or is it?

                        No coffee, tea (hot or cold), soft drinks, beer, champagne or sparkling water for 12 years?

                              Carbonated water really won't hurt you or do anything to do similar to what caffeine does...
