I caved. Sipping on some delicious iced tea as we speak. I think I'm just going to cut out soda completely and work on gradually cutting down on tea.

I love iced tea and coffee and will not quit drinking them.

Re: Rant: No Caffeine
Years ago, one of my friends was hospitalized for caffeine poisoning. He'd been ingesting so much (cups of coffee, diet Cokes, etc.) for so long (months or years) that he began having heart palpitations and had to go to the emergency room. He had to go cold turkey, and was a zombie for weeks. I don't think anyone here is close to that.

I had 8 shots of espresso yesterday and am already through 3 shots today. I average at least 4 a day.
Never leave me sweet sweet caffeine. I wake up ready to chase the dragon.

Also TTM, Killer Joe is a great name for a movie about caffeine addiction.

I have to cut back on iced tea. Between that and the water pill I take for kidney stones I had to make a pit stop every half inning yesterday.
