I drink my share of tea throughout the day, but largely diluted - a mix of black, green, rooibos and fruity teas which are half caffeine-free, and this without obvious jolts of energy. But a starbucks coffee will get me hopping and, like you, I'm finding it's not a good kind of hopping. Is coffee getting stronger or - EGADS! - are we getting older?!

I hardly ever have another cup, and never at night.<br /><br />Soda seems to have little effect, and besides, I've given it up (again).

I tend to drink coffee during summer time, and while in an office (because the tea is always disgusting in office coffee machines...), and tea in the morning for breakfast, and also during the day during winter time (with honey, to keep me from catching a cold...). Intake may vary, but in the coldest of winter I could have myself more than 1.5L of tea... As for coffee, I very seldom go over 5 espressos a day... But I'm not addicted enough to go frantically looking for a tearoom/coffee shop while in the wilderness, just to "get my fix" :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
