caffeine delivery system?

Post by **Wes** » Wed Oct 31, 2007 12:39 pm

So, in my quest to give up soft drinks, I am needing a caffeine delivery system to take the place of diet mtn. dew. I have been drinking a vitamin water, energy flavor, that has some caffeine in it, but was wondering if anyone had any other ideas? Was thinking about maybe tea in the am, but prefer something that doesn't take time to make.

use a coffee maker with no coffee in it to make the hot water, then tea is a perfect solution, especially if you buy some local honey. It will clear up your allergies too.

If you quit caffine all together and start drinking lots of bourbon everything should work out just great.

Look around Wes. Coffee baby. Everybody is do'in it. Starbucks wants your bucks. Once you go black you never go back.

p.s. I thought your post said "tea in the arm". I was thinking that is a bit extreme. Maybe I have had to much coffee.

Start your morning right and keep a bar in the bathroom to wash your hands with.

bout time you grow up wes. coffee is the only way to roll, black and standing on its own. teas are great for the crag but usually do not have the caffeine you are used to getting. be ready for headaches the first couple days.

Here's a demo of a pretty cool and portable coffee rig:

Another possible delivery system is chocolate covered coffee beans - yummy to boot!

I'm surprised that there aren't transdermal caffeine patches out there!?!?!

A cup of coffee with redbull for sweetener.

Not such a fan of coffee. Tea is OK from time to time, I guess that might be best for the morning. What type/flavors are good? I was hoping for something kinda like the vitamin water, where I can just grab one out of the fridge in the AM. I have been diet mtn dew free for almost a week, and have had a couple headaches, but not to bad since I have been doing the other drink. What about water Joe? Or some other brand of caffeinated water? I doubt I will ever fully kick the caffeine habit, but this is the first step, I guess.
