I only drink water, and the occasional cola, but the cola is rare. I used to be fat, had to give up all things with added sugar. :bawl: I love candy but I make sure it's rare. I have a note pad, that I keep the menus of all the major foodchain calorie info. I also keep track of all the cals that eat in a seperate notepad. I find it easier to stay on the wagon when you force yourself to be responsible for all that you eat. It works if there is anyone who's trying to lose weight. I've dropped 75 lbs. Not sure how many stone that would be for the Brits.

caffeinated soap...leaves you tweaky clean...

I LOVED that place when it was in business, even did a live gig there just before they shut down (to make way for a Buck-A-Book)
 
I'll drink one or two cups a day, on occasion I will have three. Mostly I have to have one in the morning or I'll need a nap around 9:30-10:00. Now that we are in winter, nothing beats a good cup o joe in the early afternoon.

Today, I am now having my second cup with you fine folks.
 
I rarely drink soda, and when i do it is usually rootbeer, which is almost always naturally caffeine free. I don't like coffee at all, but I do like Tea a lot, but most of my tea consumption is of the herbal and spice variety, which is typically caffeine free as well. Caffeine tends to to make me a tad drowsy if I have too much of it. I am told this is an ADD/ADHD symptom, which is not entirely impossible given my history. Kids didn't get branded often when i was in gradeschool.
 
Oh man.. the horror stories I have from caffeine. Permanently messed up my stomach. Has anyone else had this problem? I used to drink Bawls religously every single day. Then I started with the NoDoz. I just needed more and more until I was doing LD50 (~1 gram a day) and one day my stomach just gave out. I had (and still have to a smaller degree) all sorts of stomach and gastro problems. Oddly enough I can down 14 redbulls (did it at a LAN party twice) and not get messed up... but a single Bawls will make me sick. Coffee... I can drink maybe 1-1.5 coffees before I start feeling it. I think it might have something to do with the acid content of Bawls and coffee.
