Your preferred source of caffeine

[Dis]

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.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Well you said it had "no effect".

[Jon Miller]

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.
