  1. 1. What’s your source of caffeine?

    • Coffee - as in the old fashioned kind that my grandparents enjoyed out of a pot
    • Coffee - as in something you would buy at Starbucks and need a barista to make
    • Tea - Hot
    • Tea - Iced
    • Energy drink
    • Pop (Soda)
    • Something else?

I can't be the only degenerate who consumes energy drinks.

 

One large mug of coffee at home, one 30oz or so travel mug filled before work. Usually that's it, but if I have to pull a longer day I'll get a large $0.99 coffee and throw a couple of the stok espresso shots in there as well. On reeeaaalllly long days or drives I'll grab a Monster Rehab or two.  Used to drink a Rehab or two every day but switched to black coffee almost exclusively a couple years back. No sugar either, don't want the beetus.

I did not drink coffee until I was in my 30's, but I think I was addicted from the first sip I took. I was on a trip and had brought hot tea with me, but it ran out, so I got some at a gas station and just loved it. Drink it everyday now

I also find this surprising - I won’t say how for several reasons but I am aware of an “Honor system” vending service that will tell you energy drinks are by far the most stolen item.

 

There does seem to be a generational aspect to the stuff as it looks like millennials are more likely to drink it as compared to older farts like me.

 

No doubt the “energy” comes from a high intake of caffeine per “dose” (list of caffeine quantities per typical source):

 

 

8 ounces (oz) of brewed coffee – 95 mg

1 oz of espresso – 64 mg

8 oz of brewed tea – 47 mg

16-oz average energy drink – 158 mg

12-oz average caffeinated soda – 45 mg

1.55-oz milk chocolate candy bar – 9 mg
