Caffein is immateriel to me. I'm ambivalent about it.
I don't think I experience the same effects from it
as other people.
I can drink two quarts of strongly-brewed black tea
fourty minutes before bed and go to sleep like usual,
but I can also go days without caffein and not miss it.
My pop of choice is root beer, which sometimes has
caffein and sometimes doesn't, and I don't care one
way or the other. Usually I drink Kool-Aid or milk
or room temperature tapwater, though I do occasionally
like a big glass[1] of strongly brewed tea: black
tea with sugar and vanilla, or green tea with sugar
and ginger.
I am a real sucker for chocolate though. Real
chocolate, not that phony stuff where they process
the product and replace the actual chocolate part
of the "chocolate" with milk. Gah, you almost might
as well pretend "white chocolate" is chocolate as
that stuff. (I like milk, but not
in my chocolate. Unless it's chocolate milk. But
the addition of milk isn't what kills it; it's the
removal of the chocolate.)
No, give me the dark stuff, the real stuff, the kind
that tastes like *chocolate*. Sugar is optional.
[1] A "big" glass to me is more than 32 floz and
lasts about ten minutes if I take my time and
sip it between doing other things.
