Well, we had a lengthy thread on Mary Jane last night, so I think it's only fitting we have one on the legal drug everyone's hooked on:  Caffeine.

In case you're not aware, this legal form of speed is most of your favorite sodas, teas, coffees, and in a specialized condensed form in energy drinks.

Let's hear about your favorite caffeine ingestion vehicles.  How about some funny stories about caffeine, like that one time you stayed up two weeks straight cracked out on Starbucks & Monster?  How long do you think it'll be until we all have heart attacks?  How much speed do you think is legally allowed to be placed into drinks and sold in American stores?  Don't those 5 hour energy shots taste like ass?

Right now I'm pounding down a 12oz Red Bull and feel like I could punch a hole in the fucking wall.  I probably will before the day's out.

I love it.  It's like a super concentrated lemon lime soda.

If you let it get warm & flat, though, it's fucking toxic.

I have insomnia and ulcers. Caffeine is one of my worst enemies.

Caffeine sucks. When you drink so much coffee every day, like I do, it stops having any effect on you.

It's not addictive.  I just get massive headaches and feel lethargic if I don't have any.

Then I'll just take it seriously.

Caffeine is a drug. Like any other drug, it can be and sometimes is addictive.

I often wonder if chips have an addictive substance in them. If I don't have a bag every few days it's all I think about and feel really shit. I'm an underweight junkfoodaholic.

What kind of chips?

I could totally see MSG-laden Doritos or something being addictive.

Standard grease and salt ones, not so much.

It's probably just obsessive habit. I don't know of anything addictive in chips.

Usually Kettle and Red Rock. Probably addicted because they taste so damn good.

The Monster beverages are tasty.  Specifically, Loca Moca, Russian, and the Irish thingie.

Oh yeah, I used to have 1 or 2 cans of Monster a day. Too bad they don't sell it in Australia.

The great thing about Monster is that it tastes like shit, so you feel like a man when you drink it.

the taste could be described as a mix of coca cola, coffee and toffee

Would that be pronounced "Blake" since it's got a long A?

Oh, so it's like beer.

Beer-bashing on a videogame website?

The standard fruity variety are insignificant in the beverage war.  However, sip a Monster Russian if you haven't already.  I found it to be chugworthy ~the 30 second mark. *burp*

[Why is it that I imagine everyone in this thread talking very, very fast?]

I had to do this presentation for a final exam [which is pretty much every final if you're an architecture major] and I had to turn in 3 30"x40" drawings, fully rendered, and an 1/4" scale model.  I drank 2 or 4 cans of DoubleShot Expresso, some cheap energy drinks I found at the local corner store, and who knows how many pots of black coffee. 

This caffeine binge started 2 days before the presentation.

I commute to school, but I swear when I say that I could have walked all the way there and not be tired.  You could have probably seen my heart jumping out of my chest as I was presenting my work but I think I got through it without a hitch.  I got an A, even though some of my linework was shaky.  After the presentation, I still had energy to burn.  I did a lot, to say the least, but the most memorable thing was when I ran around in circles in the kitchen.


I love caffeine.
