I remember one time I had purchased a "case" of Red Line and managed to have about 2.5 bottles or 5 servings of Red Line in about an hour. That was about 790mg of caffeine in the span of an hour. They are not kidding about those "jitters"... I was playing a card game at the time and I couldn't not stop fidgeting.

I sometimes enjoy vodka+red bull to get me going when I'm enjoying a night out. Otherwise, I try to avoid caffeine. My sleep cycle is already bad enough!

I LOVE XYIENCE ENERGY DRINKS *jitters*

Interesting chart! I usually go sugar free when I have one - there are plenty of SF choices without aspartame.

A cup of decaf makes me accomplish wondrous things. As I was always told, it's "de-caf, not un-caf".
I dunno why it takes so much of the drug to make everyone do what they do...

^ Yep.

I dropped all caffeine from my diet on 1/1/12 (with the exception of whatever's in home-brewed iced green tea).

I get more done in a day than most people do all week. :)

If you need caffeine to get your day started, you are doing it wrong. You just woke up and you're tired? WTF. I don't get it.
