Jittery is a word I use. Everybody reacts to stimulants differently. I can have a cup of coffee and sleep like the dead..... welll.... if the dead snore.

I stayed up 38 hours off of a starbucks double shot expresso

I drink beer and water. That is 90% of my liquids

I only drink beer while and after mowing the lawn. I don't care for it any other time.

I do not drink soda, it's disgusting Imo. Coffee, water, beer, in that order.
Quit drinking soda when I worked long hours outside in the beating hot sun, it does not quench your thirst. Coffee isn't much better but I love it, gets me going. Most the day it's water to hydrate from the night befores beer and the morning couple pots of coffee.

I don't drink sodas for health reasons. I drink milk, coffee, hot tea, water then beer, in that order, but mainly drink water when I'm doing anything sweat worthy, excluding the previously mentioned lawn mowing beer. I like the smell and flavor of coffee.

I also drink 2 glasses of skim milk with Chocolate Malt Ovaltine (has many vitamins - it sez) so that must be the healthy part of my diet.

I think I'm going to pull a Diva and have ice cream. It's tooooo hot.

I sooo want a summer kitchen for doing canning and roasting.  With a screened in porch and a lounge chair for reading.... Good place for a freezer too in that kitchen?

I can remember my great-grandmother's house in Mississippi had an outhouse (scary when i was 6 years old & younger) and chamber pots and you had to pump the water in the kitchen sink & summer kitchen was like a screened in porch and stove in winter kitchen also was used to heat the house

Caffeine never did anything for me, so I decided I didn't want it. Many years ago I switched to Caffeine-free diet Pepsi and I even cut way back on that. I mostly drink tap water.

I'm pretty sure caffeine does nothing for me as well, I just drink coffee nowadays because I enjoy the taste. And out of habit.

I stayed up 38 hours off of a starbucks double shot expresso

I once stayed up for 48 hours straight. When I was 11 or 12 I was helping my aunt de-seed chili peppers. I didn't wear gloves. A minutes after I finished I noticed a slight tingling in my hands. Which soon escalated to burning. Which then again escalating to hellish unbearable flames of death. As you can imagine I spent the next 2 days with my hands soaking in ice water until the burning stopped. I wouldn't wish that amount of sleep deprivation upon anyone.

If I don't have four shots of espresso or the equivalent in caffeine per day.... I get massive migraine headaches....

Hey... I used to drink two pots of coffee per day... its an improvement.
