Tom: that's weird, the same thing happened to me. I stopped being able to handle coffee at all. A cup in the morning would keep me awake that night. I was always asking my friends if I could just smell their coffee, I didn't dare drink any myself. Recently I've been able to drink it again, within reason.
But for the most part I don't like hot drinks. Coke is often my tipple of choice, but more than anything I love lime cordial, You know, Rose's, that stuff. Drink it by the pint.

I personally rarely get the effects of caffine. I can drink (and done this before) whole liters of soda within an hour and go to sleep easily.
I am a big fan of Mountain Dew. In fact right now I am drinking a 24oz Mountain Dew, and in my room somewhere I have awhole cart (12 cases of soda) of Code Red Mountain Dew and regular Dew. Someone said they are coming out with a Purple (or Blue) Mountain Dew in a few months. I am looking forward to that.
Someone told me that on a normal day they will drink Coke but on a hot day (like where I live a nice cool 93 degrees) Pepsi is the way to go.

I usually go through 2 to 3 liters of Dew a day.... Had to switch to diet after I figured out that that is 8 to 12 ounces of raw sugar..... diabetes runs in my family, sooo, I had to think about that....
As a kid I suffered from insomnia.... not I sleep hard.....

Lee: Was your coffee divorce a gradual thing or not? Mine seemed to happen almost overnight, from unlimited Joe down the hatch with pretty minimal effects on sleep to two before gastric distress. The crowning achievement was way back in high school with 4 litres of coffee in a night. It made me, um, dizzy.

i hate hot beverages, and coffee never agreed with me, but recently my stomach is so irritable that my usual dose of Dew that kept me aware during school causes massive stomach problems, same with a lot of dairy products. Im still being really cautious about what i eat too, as i lost most of two months to being hunched over a toilet.

Kosh: You have a pitcher of tea? All at once? Doesn't it, y'know, get cold?
I've been having more trouble than normal finding Cherry Coke recently. Which is annoying, as I like some variety in what I drink. Dr Pepper's having a bit of a resurgence though, so that will have to do.
I am now off to think off 4 months worth of jokes based around the fact that two cups of tea gives Tom the shits. Bye.

One night in 1993 when I was still at university I had a cup of coffee at a friend's place. This was quite a strong cup, filtered from a machine. I spent the whole night awake, feeling high as a kite. Don't know what that one cup did, but it totally destroyed my ability to handle coffee.

Is there some obscure part of the constitution that prevents you lot from drinking normal tea?
And damn Picard. Thanks to him most Americans now think that we actually drink Earl Grey.

Coke's about 10% raw sugar, and can eat through your car bumper. No, thanks.
Cappuchino's four bucks a cup.
Tea... on occasion, but not often.
I get most of my caffine from chocolate.

Cherry Coke from what I heard, (it says so in the link above as well) that it will get a newer taste. They slowing down the Cherry Coke production so that when the newer version comes, Coke won't have two versions still out.
I once had seven cups of expresso because if I am not drinking Coke I am drinking Coffe and expresso is just really small. Those seven cups made pee for at least 10 minutes however I felt no effects of being awake.
I guess caffine has no effect on me.
