This isn't directed at you in any way, I just couldn't resist.

Getting a cup of coffee with one or two esspresso shots in it once a month is like the best feeling ever. Caffiene is by far my favorite drug (granted, I don't do many), and works really well if you use it really infrequently

This describes my experience with caffeine as well. I definitly don't add in two shots of esspresso though. Because I don't drink much caffeine, one small cup of coffee gets me wired.

Oh yeah, and I hate the taste of soda (unless its mixed with alcohol).

Good job. Now you just need to let go of maryjane [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Maybe eventualy, but I enjoy it, and honestly... caffeine is much worse for you then THC. You can die from caffeine overdose. high doses can cause all kinds of problems with the brain. Withdrawal is much worse on caffeine too.

I am not saying THC is good for you...

::Commercial Plug:: Go to like Trader Joe's or somewhere that sells pure fruit juice, blueberry or aronia berry is pretty tasty, and good for you. cranberry will make you pucker for a week)::End Commercial Plug::

Even fruit juice is actually pretty bad for you, unless it has pulp or some substance to it. Just buy a bunch of fruit instead for your sugar fix... MUCH better for you.

I may be silly, but I'm not going to scroll up an entire thread just to click a button that is currently staring me in the face. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Dr. Pepper.

I can be having a crappy day, feel like absolute sh1t, and within seconds of a sip of Dr. Pepper I feel better.

I once went 6 months without it, but I don't want to do that ever again.

You can overdose from just about anything. For coffee it's about 50-200 cups of regular coffee, depending on body weight and tolerance.
I don't think you have to worry about this.

P.S. You're right that root beer > coke.

When you drink that much coffee you get super powers of moving through time ala Futurama.

Sure no one drinks that much coffee, but you can go to the store and buy caffeine over the counter and OD with one box. This is a little extreme, but caffeine is put out on the market to appear harmless. It is very addicting and it is put into sooooo many products for that reason alone...
