I just realized I have a cup of coffee, a Dr. Pepper, and an energy drink on my desk. None of them have been finished. x.x

I have a huge trash bag filled with empty 2-liters of mountain dew I finished in 3 days.

    I remember drinking a cup of strong tea.

    I was awake until 5 AM in the morning...

    So I'm not very addicted because even tea has some crazy effects on me. I don't drink coffee, period.

    Wise decision mate. Stay away from coffee- others need it more.
    Not very addicted just 2-3 cups a day. Not planning to quit nor cut back.

    I'm a lesser extreme of the OP. If I don't get a few Cokes, or Pepsi's in me, I feel like **** until I do.

    Coffee is not an option. It tastes like butt. b:surrender

    Not much and infrequently.
    I love coffee, but I can't drink it without gravity being against me. I drop everything, I can't write properly, I can't play the guitar because I miss the strings, and I have the feeling that everything is brighter and louder than before. It can be useful sometimes, though b:laugh

    Oh, and I always think of the Jim Jarmusch movie ... b:pleased

    I wouldn't say that I'm an 'addict' per se but I do loves me some caffeinated refreshments.

    Me likes (in order of preference):

    + Tea (Green, Oolong, Black)
    + Coffee (straight, black and never more then 20 ounces a day)
    + Espresso (macchiato style with just a dollop of foam)
    + Yerba Matte (must be served in a proper bomba)
    + Diet Coke or Coke Zero with lemon
    + The occasional energy drink (Rockstar lo-carb FTW or RedBull)

    I wake up at five every morning.

    And I'm not addicted to caffeine at all, whatsoever, because I don't regularly drink / eat anything with caffeine.

    I have drunken like caffeinated sodas before, but they don't really affect me.

    Yeah the thing about soft drinks with caffeine is this. You don't think they do anything for you, but once you let yoursef be addicted. And then go a day or so w/o a coke or dew or whatever, you feel like ****, and have nasty headaches till you get your fix. It kinda sux tbh.

    U know... kind of off-topic... but...

    I just kinda realized it's funny how they call them "soft drinks."...!?

    Soft!?!?! As in, smooth, unimposing, mellow, nice, and calm? That kind of soft?

    Lol when there really isn't much "soft" about soda. ESPECIALLY the fresh ones, with the insane fizzy carbonation that totally like fries your nose, and you can't drink it all at once because it's too fizzy and bursting with energy and delicious flavor and whatnot...





































































































































































    Lol!

    you should try drinking 2-3 cups of plain black coffee for a few days (no sugar, no milk), stop drinking pepsi, and see if you still get your headaches.

    If so, you may actually have a sugar dependency (unless you're drinking diet coke).

    I think you are correct. That is a common mis-conception with soda. There is not really enough of the caffeine to make a huge difference, the sugar on teh other hand b:surrender

    Here is come cool Caffeine Info for you all:

    Pepsi-Cola 37.5milligrams
    Coffee, Drip 115-175milligrams

    Check the site it gives you the info on most drinks....b:cute

    to ease into a reduced sugar intake you could alternating each pepsi you have with a diet pepsi in between. After a few days or a week you'll get used to the taste of diet soda and won't miss regular soda at all.

    Coke Zero is pretty good. zero calories and tastes much more 'natural' then other diet soft drinks.
