    I'm not drinking as much as usual atm but at work sometimes I'll go through 6/7 cups and I drink it strong, black, no sugar so often end up feeling horrible and need to drink pints of water and smoke a cig to feel better... Despite being british I'm really not a tea drinker apart from herbal teas.

    Coffee ftw..

    Taurine is named after the Latin taurus, which means bull or ox, as it was first isolated from ox bile..

    You don't need to eat when you drink energy drinks..
    You probably felt sick from the caffeine overload.

    Did you know that one of the reasons why you can't keep your cat on a 100% vegetarian diet is because taurine is essential in it's health and well being? They need it or they can become blind, lose hair, and have tooth decay.

    I used to be.. but I've replaced it with tea again, like in my good old hippy days.. tea is stronger than coffee though.. so.. my choice of replacing coffee with tea is pretty pointless. ah well.

    one of my friends had a horrible, i mean absolutely horrible, RedBull experience. he walked down to the movie rental to rent a movie he said he felt all dizzy so he thought maybe his blood sugar level was low since he got a buzz on the night before.. so he walked out of the rental and was crossing a busy street to goto the gas station and blacked out and fell in the middle of the intersection... and then got up like 10sec later.. he had another time at work where he blacked out shortly after drinking a redbull... i try to not drink it unless im really really dragging

    lol well last I heard.. which was most definitely not the 1800s.. it was like 1999 or something or maybe even 2002 when I was involved in a lot animal rights shit and welfare that cats can't be vegetarian. Not sure about synthetic vs. real, but dry and wet cat food MUST contain taurine says the aafco.

    I drink coffee because it tastes good and makes me feel good. The buzz isn't much, but I find it pleasant.
    Coffee has the opposite effect on me than most people.... I get sleepy when I drink it.
    I drink it whenever - whether I'm high or not. I agree they go well together.

    I've been having so much coffee lately! I made a really good coffee milkshake the other day.

    In 1993, approximately 5,000–6,000 t of taurine were produced; 50% for pet food manufacture, 50% in pharmaceutical applications. Synthetic taurine is obtained from isethionic acid (2-hydroxyethanesulfonic acid), which in turn is obtained from the reaction of ethylene oxide with aqueous sodium bisulfite. Another approach is the reaction of aziridine with sulfurous acid. This leads directly to taurine

    i work in a coffeeshop but am not a coffee addict. i will go days at a time with no caffeine. i do LOVE coffee, and espresso in particular, but i can't stand the over caffeinated feeling.

    being addicted to caffeine has nothing to do with being a stoner. caffeine is THE most widely abused and accepted addictive substance, bar none.

    most of my customers are not stoners, but most of my customers are hopeless addicts. when you throw sugar in the mix, look out.

    dont get me wrong, i really like coffee, i just cant tolerate such a high level of caffeine, so i dont drink it often. when i do drink it, i often get decaf or half decaf. i'm much more likely to drink tea, particularly green tea.

    my dad gets pissy about my drug use when HE is the hopless addict. if he has only one coffee in the morning... he's a hopless reck who's two tired to function. If he has two he cant sleep for the next day making him irritable and angry and making him tired wich means more coffee.

    Well I have been drinking around 36-40 cans of Diet Coke each week for the past few years. Also I do enjoy coffee, tea, and energy drinks. So yeah, caffeine rocks.

    I drink 2 cups of hot coffee, one luke warm, and 1-2 cold each day. but I have thyroid induced insomnia, so I don't sleep well, and if i dont get caffeine throughout the day i wont make it to the end. stupid thyroid. speaking of...
    anyway, i don't smoke a lot during the day, and coffee and I dont need it everyday, but i drink it because it works for me. and it keeps me regular, double bonus! ;)
