Poll question: Caffeine addicts: what's your usual caffeine delivery system?
Mine is coffee, but I get a lot from soda, too.

2. Tea
But tea has like 1/100th of the caffeine amount that coffee does, so sometimes I rock the java in the morning.

Although, sometimes I wonder what i'd drink if not for tea.

9. Sodas
Drinking anything not ice-cold is unsatisfactory to me.

And no, I'm not going to give a megacorp free advertising by disclosing WHICH one.

10. I used to drink coffee by the pot
and now I only have about 1/2 cup a day. (if I'm lucky) I don't have anything with caffeine the rest of the day. Herbal teas work fine for me and I'm drinking about 60oz of a combination of crystal lite and plain water a day.

I thought I'd miss my coffee, but I don't.

16. Bawls
Best caffienated soda ever.



Otherwise, iced tea and Barq's root beer are good (though not exactly strong sources).

18. Coffee - but I drink lots of tea as well
But tea is so wimpish on the caffeine stakes (especially as I drink mostly green tea) that it would neither create or sustain a caffeine addiction (other than a psychological one).

30. Red eye-coffee with a shot of espresso. For a REAL lift,
wash down some chocolate covered espresso beans. they're better than speed.

31. A regular coffee made with an additional shot of espresso goes
by a few names one I know is a depth charge. I love very strong coffee but I can't handle those. I think the way a lot make them kills the favor of the coffee.

34. chop up dehydrated crystals with a razor blade and snort it.. less peeing
i have attention ADD and use Cafeine medicinally. when i worked under a microscope at Boeing i took one 200mg tablet every 3 hours.. and it helped focus on the work.. brewed coffee is hard to regulate the exact dose..
