Uh huh.. no so VERY much!

I love coffee and soda's. But barely drink once a week. Caffeine has no affect on me. I drink water all day. Booze at night.

Without caffeine I couldn't function. I have mild Adult Attention Deficit Disorder.....many folks with AADD 'self medicate' with caffeine....it's a stimulant...but works the opposite certain brain chemistries.

I drink too much diet coke....trying to cut back on the nutrasweet....so hardly sweetened white tea it's been for awhile.

I have GERD as well....I have to love my protonix!!

This hits too close to home. Like most "traveling sales folks," my three primary food groups are caffeine, Tums and alcohol. I find it's cheaper to by 75mg Zantac or Pecid than the 150 mg and TAKE TWO!!

what's wrong with us as a society?

But coke is bad for you also. Not just the caffeine. Cops use coke to clean blood of the streets. Try coke to rid the corrision off of battery posts.

Bottled water is good for you. If you need tea try decaffeinated green tea with splenda. I feel the best I have have felt in years. I have been off coffee and regular black tea for over a year now and I dranked four or five tall cups of coffee each day (the strong StarBucks) and then two or three glasses of tea in the evening.

A good friend that Victoria goes to school with has a very mild case of ADHD. They give her about 1/2 can of soda or 1/2 cup of coffee/tea in the morning and it will control it most of the day. Seems to work pretty well. I never really noticed it before until I was at 2 different early-morning volleyball games; one game she had had caffeine before and was very focused and ready and the other game she was on some totally different planet.

My 'keet also has a mild case.....she gets one of those 'mini cans' of Mountain Dew in the morning most days. I am trying to get her to develop a taste for mildly sweetened ice tea....rather then the pop.

My husband thought I was NUTS when I started giving Mountain Dew to Rock....she hardly ever gets pop....but her teacher has noticed the difference, so we know think it is worth it.

I haven't had much caffiance today...and my brain is going a MILE an minute....lol.....thinking about having a big glass of white tea (maybe with a but of rum?

) so I can go to bed!

You can use ketsup on battery posts too- it's not really hard to get off.

Yep. I talked to the friend's parents (they are also good friends of ours) and she said their child's teacher suggested it. She treats her own kid the same way during the summer, although I think he gets actual meds during the school year.

Addicted or mild add! Though you just may be young...my hubby swears that caffeine never effected his sleeping either...until he hit 35.

Mine either, PPT. I can drink rum & coke till the late hours, go home and go to sleep.

buffettbride · Post by **buffettbride** » April 17, 2006 10:45 pm

It affects my waking-upness but not my go-to-sleepness.

As quoted from the BB Dictionary.

It doesn't affect either of mine, but you made me laugh.
