When I was doing night security I used to drink a brand of coffee named Rocket Fuel. That stuff was great , it would give you the shakes but made you so hyper vigilant that you never missed a thing with regards to security. :twisted:

Never mind all the other drugs, when I'm freaking out, I need caffeine from beans. Every time I start losing my cool, it's coffee or nothing. I have 2 more hours of work in a 9 hour day before I can meet my friend later & this cappuccino is my only recourse. My coworker suggested checking how much I spend on coffee & I immediately balked. That's not an option for me, I've been forcing myself to coexist with machines before people for years & years.

I wish some friends would find ways to wake me up.


Caffeine works the other way for me.
I'm hyper-sensitive to the stuff.
It amplifies all the emotions.
It does motivate me physically, mentally and creatively though, which is a plus.

A pity about the poor buggers at the end of your trigger finger though, eh? :mrgreen:

I'm a coffee aficionado as well. I can never get enough of it.
That being said, I don't drink it for the caffeine so much as the taste.


Same here. I think at this point, unless it's really strong coffee, the caffeine doesn't really affect me.

I've been gradually lowering my caffeine tolerance but I'll still sometimes have 3 cups in a day. Black tea is a weakness of mine.
