KNEEL BEFORE YOUR JITTERY GOD.

So pretty much all of us partake of this substance in some way, this wondrous stimulant that doubles as a natural pesticide. These days there are as many ways to antagonise one's adenosine receptors as there are people staying up until 2:30 the night before a final exam doing another run on Iron Forge.

How do you get your fix? Red Bull, V, Bawls? Espressos so strong they let you see the face of god, or lattes that are basically hot milk from a cow that was once shown a picture of a coffee bean? Do you get headaches if you stop drinking? Have you ever over-indulged and woken up three days later on the outskirts of Salt Lake City? Or do you just, you know, sleep more than six hours a night?

Talk to me, SE++. I'll be here until dawn.

    I can't stand coffee, but I've gotten myself addicted to caffeine through Coca-Cola and Mountain Dew.

    There's this new energy drink called Mother. I've tried it twice and felt exactly as tired and resentful afterwards as I did before.

    The ad for it has monkeys, though.

    i had some of that. tastes kind of like ginger ale, right?

    it wasn't what i expected.

    i'm the kind of person who doesn't drink a lot of caffeine because when i want it, i want it to work

    One time I drank 100 cups of coffee that I bought with my tax return.

    Not really, that was Futurama.

    But I drink about 3-4 cups of coffee per day, and I'll substitute a BAWLS in if I'm having a really hard time waking up.

    If you put four cups of coffee together and added some Bawls I'm pretty sure your lymph nodes would just explode instantly.

    Bawls is the only energy drink I really get a kick from anymore. Red Bull doesn't really do it for me, I actually get sleepy sometimes after I have one.

    Every morning, I have a 20 oz cup of coffee with 9 packets of sugar to start off the work day. Then after lunch, I have another 20 oz cup to keep away the nappies. I'm pretty sure thats unhealthy, but ah well.

    I have 2 cups before lunch, and one after lunch during my normal work day. The only side effect that I've seen is it can mess your body up if you go for a run after work. I just have a cup or two of water in between the coffee to stay hydrated, and that seems to work fine.

    Also, I drink it black, so that might make it healthier than 9 packets of sugar.

    At school, I usually drink a mug or two of coffee in the morning before classes and I occasionally get a large coffee from a coffee stand.

    When I'm on a work term, I usually have about 4 cups of coffee before lunch; it gives me the jitters, but damn it it's all I can do to keep from falling asleep.

    You mean the amount or the unhealthy factor?

    Yeah, dead serious about the amount. Its okay though, about a quarter of the cup is skim milk. I like my coffee sissyfied, more like coffee ice cream than actual coffee.

    The amount of sugar mainly. I'm not used to ounces, I just did the conversion to metric (566g) and it's not as much as I thought.

    I once ordered a large coffee at one of those Java Joe places. They basically brought me out a soup bowl of coffee with a handle on it.

    Well, I once tried switching to splenda packets, but I could never get the right mix of sweetness with that. 9 packets makes it sweet enough to make it not bitter but not too much where it doesn't taste like coffee anymore. Really, starting off drinking starbucks fancy drinks when I first started downing coffee has ruined my palette

    i drink a lot of coffee plus i take 25mg eph/200mg caff 3 times a day
    i don't get all jittery or nothing, but when i go work out i sweat like a mofo

    i've pretty much built up an immunity to stimulants from years of meth abuse
    although, i'm sure if i got my hands on some crank i could work up some pretty hardcore heart palpitations

    I'm high strung and jittery enough on my own without the help of stimulates.

    Last time I had a mountain dew, I fidgeted so much I couldn't sit still.
