    no one knows "elixir of energy" until they've experienced the delight of rectal amphetamine

    I'm only like 2/3 kidding

            Coffee sucks to me. It has an immediate laxative effect and because it takes so long to metabolize it leaves me with peripheral stimulation FAR longer than say, a caffeine tablet would.

            If you're taking a medicine and wanting consistent results, take it in it's purest form.

            The mechanism of action of caffeine works only to promote wakefulness in me SLIGHTLY, which is unfortunate. I need a more legitimate stimulant drug to give me wakefulness and optimal cognitive performance (modafinil was alright).

                honestly i've never drank more than a few sips of soda in my entire life as i know it's not something i should get into

                if you argue that you need that "kick"/"push for energy it's not a good idea anyways, as you can exercise to get your body functioning optimally. any added drug is usually harmful, especially in excess. the reason us americans are so fat is due largely in part to our consumption of soda and so many people (whether they want to admit it or not) are addicted to it and would probably go through a major withdrawal without it

                of course those who suffer problems and need caffeine for medical treatment and those are exceptions to the fact that it's usually a killer

                  Just look up how caffeine works and understand that it's not for everyone, and better yet, not suitable to be blindly added to products for some sort of added reward system for consuming it.

                    I never consume caffeine for the sake of energy, I consume it as a byproduct of some of my favorite drinks. Tea, coffee, and soda all have it (of course there are decaf versions of tea and coffee but when you're on the go and at a restaurant there's a good chance they won't have it). I also enjoy soda but I of course don't enjoy it for the caffeine. If you can find it, caffeine free regular coke tastes great and doesn't differ from regular coke. Fruit sodas and A&W root beer are good too.

                    Also it never really wakes me up when I have it, I actually went through an effort (how I found out about decaf coke) to take it out because it made me more anxious.

                    Edit: I'm kinda curious how caffeine would help with a workout. Doesn't it already raise your heart rate?

                      I'm starting to take caffeine pills instead of drinking energy drinks, I really need to cut down on sugar and that is by far the biggest source of my sugar on a daily basis. the zero-sugar energy drinks give me the shits like you can't believe

                        Read this as "i've never drank more than a few sips of soda in my entire life and already know it's not something i should get into", was about to call serious bullshit.

                        Whatev tho, caffeine ain't going to fuck you up, I promise, but you do you.

                          Caffeine is not so much a psychologically stimulating substance as it is a physical one. To the person asking if working out would be better with it-- yes, in a way, since your vitals increase, your metabolism is working harder, you are going to be burning more. The downside is less caffeine related but more with general stimulants which is the strain on your heart and other systems (cardiotoxicity if you really push it, but it's pretty rare with just caffeine).

                          Caffeine will definitely fuck you up if you chug a large coffee with no tolerance and can't understand why your heart is beating 140bpm. It's a drug, it ain't candy.

                          The only reason I use it is for physical wakefulness to perform at work. Otherwise, I have hypertension and anxiety and avoid using it when possible. Most people don't have this issue.

                            My dad was abusive because of caffeine. I'm not joking.

                              I don't think that's quite how caffeine works

                                When you're drinking over 5 cups a day and you already have anger issues and it triggers it and withdrawal triggers it, I don't think you quite understand. It's like saying alcohol doesn't cause abuse. Ok no it doesn't, the person does, I get it.
