Caffeine

Is anyone here addicted to caffeine? I think I was because I would actually get headaches when I stopped drinking it…?

i was for a while. it really happens more often when it’s a regulated thing to some extent (i.e. if you have a coke with lunch every day for a month then when you have water one day you will get a headache.) so drinking caffienated drinks sporadically helps that a lot.

I am totally addicted to caffeine.
I go to sleep after drinking a Dr. pepper,
and wake up with one, and during the day, I usually
go through 8-12 soft drinks. After an hour or two without one,
I can tell the difference, so I must say yes, I am addicted to
caffeine.

Whoa…doesn’t your body feel the effects of it all?

i am not at all addicted to caffeine.

I’ve only drank one coffee in my life, and I only drink Root Beer, which is caffein free (except Barq’s, which isn’t very good).

P: I am totally addicted to caffeine.

I drink coffee straight black mornings and in the winter all day. My son is breaking away from Coke, He gets migraine type headaches if he goes with out Coke for a day or two, coffee helps it but, not much, He is currently 5 days with out the soda rush and is doing OK except for when he gets grouchy. I know Coke is the worst soda out there for sugar and caffiene. Quite addicting.
If my coffee intake is taken away it only bothers me first thing in the morning and at that point husband and son run the other way until its safe.

I’m not even addicted to nicotine, though I smoke. I can survive without almost anything, as long as I have a substitute for it…

K:Thanks james, great picture.

K: the only time I really feel it, is when I go on a camping
trip of over 4 days. It always hits me on the 4th night and I suffer
the 5th day. But no camping trips this year, so party on.

James, I don’t know how can you go to sleep with so much caffeine during the day. Bach’s Kaffee Kantata is hilarious. I got a serious laugh out of it but not any desire to start consuming caffeine. I drink vodka martini in resturants and Heineken or Carling at home.

J: No worries. :slight_smile:

Err… Are you sure you’re not confusing me with someone else here? I have yet to give my touching and inspirational ‘battled-with-addiction-and-subdued-the-beast’ story; my brave testimonial to the triumph of the human spirit; my vigilant memorial to the dange…

Alas, I digress. I have strictly one can of Dr. Pepper per day, and drink only decaf coffee. (Thank god I can’t tell the difference…) I was consuming too much caffeine, and developed a heart palpitation; though as I haven’t seen a doctor yet, I can’t be sure that this is not a seperate development.

Anyways, peace out you crazy man, you. Have a look at Deleuze’s book on Nietzsche, if you haven’t already done so. It’s a fucking masterpiece.

:slight_smile:

p.s. I have been told that solitary drinking is statistically indicative of the first signs of alcoholism. Enjoy your Heineken… :smiley:

caffine,those were the days. i got mine via chocolate primarly if my memory serves me. i think chocolate has less than drinks,unable to give 100% on that. thank god i went off of caffine. something happend to my health,i cant handle that junk the way normal people can,a couple years ago i had a pepsi that a friend brough over,and when i pissed it out,it felt…like acid. of coarse i cant say it was still carbonated…

SIATD,if you are truely not addicted to nicotine,i highly recommend you quit smokeing to prove it. someone once said you are too smart to die early in an old post somewhere,and i stand behind that.

Hemes and Dunamis have told me the same thing. This can’t be a coincidence, so it might indeed be a fucking master piece. I’ll check it out when I’m done with Kaufman and Heidegger. However, I do have a certain suspision against anything popular. The day I make Deleuze read like a little kid pissing about in the Nietzschergarten, James, is the day you replace your Greek geek with Fritz.

In the year 2014 there will be a book written by a “Bob Tomlinson” called “Deleuze on Nietzsche.” In the year 2022 there will be a book written by a “Gordon Westerman” called “Tomlinson on Deleuze on Nietzsche.” In the year 2034 there will be a book written by a “Ralph Jackson” called “Westerman on Tomlinson on Deleuze on Nietzsche.”

Does it ever stop, James and Uniqor?

Burn the books. There is only Spinoza.

Just kidding, you kids have a great time.

Uniqor, I like your Kriswest quote. Reminds me of something I read in a Hallmark card once at Wal-Mart. If you ever find her, lemme know if she has a sister, k?

I’m too smart to die early? I suppose that this is a compliment…

I haven’t smoked for 2 days due to a cold, which does prove my point in a way even scientists can grasp…

As to Deleuze’s book on Nietzsche - don’t believe the hype because when it’s finally revealed that the book is a sham, an intellectual culture experiment, you’ll look all the more foolish…

trop,

Who is the bird in the pic?

She is the reason why Fritz couldn’t sleep well at night.

“Ah!” says SIATD.

SAID saitd;

Pffft. You need to stop reading Alan Sokal, and come play with the rest of us kids. Fun, Anyone? :-({|=

Hmm… given that the translator of Deleuze’s book has the last name ‘Tomlinson’, maybe this isn’t too far off the mark… :slight_smile: Or else maybe that was part of you secret, coded and doubly-esoteric message to begin with. ‘Like, dude, what if everything happened, like, again?’… (ala Nietzsche, age 13)

Now, if you don’t mind, I’ve got some reading to do. (goes back to reading “Heidegger on Hegel on Kant on Leibniz on Aquinas on Augustine on Plotinus on Plato on Socrates, by Jack.)
