Welcome to Gaia! ::

caffine makes me anxious anxious anxious----on top of anxiety and depression issues--that's no fun--so no caffine for mwah.

I second her idea.

I used to be a cola addict, but then I switched to black tea, and now al I drink is herbal tea, soymilk, and water. I drink black tea, perhaps once every two or three months, but now when I drink even a small cup it gets me wired. The last time I had caffine I ended up running up and down my hallway for about twenty minutes. xp

I think caffiene is a vice just like anything else. It's not healthy, but then again it has benefits on the short term.

Avoiding caffiene is hard for me because I work at Starbucks Coffee Company.

I was raised on not having any caffeine (as well as being Vegan).. when I moved away from home, my boyfriend is a really unhealthy eater and he drinks a CRAP LOAD of sodas. I've decided to stop drinking them and decided to really cut out all but the occassional caffeine intake- my father is addicted to coffee and has like a pot of coffee daily and is always in and out of the hospital with heart problems. It's mostly linked to his caffeine consumption and it's sort of destroyed his heart and that deeply upsets me.

Also, caffeine really messes up your metabolism in the quantities that most people have it. That's why people who give up soda generally lose like 10 pounds or more- their metabolism balances out.

I love the taste of coffee though so I just have de-caf when I'm craving the flavor.

And, an apple is actually better to wake you up in the morning than a coffee or soda, I forget why exactly but there's some natural chemical in it that's healthy to digest but really gets your brain cranking. So every morning at 6:00 am when I'm at breakfast at school (I go to Culinary school) I'm chowing down on an apple!

Haha, I'm very very addicted to coffee.. ^^'

I don't drink that much of it, usually I drink 1-2 cups a day, but if I don't drink it at all.. well, just like Ghost of Ailinea, I get these unbearable headaches.

I realized I was addicted to caffeine when I was at my friend's house last summer finishing our cosplays. I really should've sewed and done things, because I was the only one who really knew what I was doing.. but I didn't get any coffee because the only kind in the house had some milk powder in it. I hadn't drink any coffee for over 24 hours, and the headache was almost killing me. I took over 1000mg of medicine, but it only helped for a few hours. It was just horrible.. and it lasted all the time until I got home and got a cup of coffee the next day. Now I really know how alcohol addicts must feel..

I don't like my habit, because I live far away from the coffee producing world and the amount of pollution coming from the planes that deliver my coffee make me feel very bad.. but I really don't know if I'll ever be able to give up my coffee. >_>''

Gahhh.
I hate caffeine.
I have ADHD, so the caffeine has a very weird effect on me, somewhat the opposite of what lots of caffeine drinkers aim for.

So when I drink a bunch of coffee I feel like a zombie, like, a super wired zombie.
My arms get really tense and and can easily focus on anything =D.
Sometimes I drink it to do well on tests

...and they want their oil back.

mmm big cup of coffee with lots of sugar and milk whee
only thing I use sugar and milk for
I bet its an explosive mixture
but, heh I have an excuse - I drink it to keep my alkaline- acids in balance
without that i would just be a fruitarian rolleyes

i LOVE caffeine! its not vegan??! crap! #$@%^&#!! stressed sweatdrop
i love iced coffees, black tea, sugar free Red Bull, Monster Assault, and everything else T__T;; that sucks...
can i make an exception, without being judged as a hypocrite? >_>;;
