<p>I was dragging it when I woke up today so I saw Jolt gum at the newspaper stand and bought a pack. The label said 2 pieces are = to a cup of coffee, so I popped 2. Mondays are always hell where I work, and the phones get so busy I dont have time to run down and get myself another coffee, so I bought 2 large cups of coffee in Au Bon Pain and went into work. I also have a little tea kettle on my desk and as I was finishing my second cup, I turned on the kettle to make a cup of tea. <br />I was drinking the tea and my chest started tightening up BIG TIME, like I was going to have a heart attack! Im fucking paniking and trying to find aspirin (just in case) and someone gave me some some (thank God I didnt take my caffiene laced Excedrin!). The phones were going nuts and it took a supreme effort to calm down and make the feeling go away. But I tell you, <em><font color="#ff3300">I was scared!</font></em></p><p><img height="136" src="http://www.skyxtreme.com/archive/dec_jan2000/images/coffee.jpg" width="200" border="0" /></p><img src="http://www.chaoticconcepts.com/randomizer/random.php?uid=8" border="0" /> <strong>My Thanks to Just Jon, Reefdwella, ADF, Yerdaddy,Monsterone and Katylina for the sig-pic help and creation!</strong><font color="#ff0000"><font size="1">Which Witch Wished Which Wicked Wish?</font></font>

Caffine is a nasty shit. If I drink like 3 cups of coffee at work I feel all strung out and detached from my body sometimes.

Word.<br />Maybe I will limit myself to just one cup a day. I think I am going to start using either decaffinated tea or the ginger tea instead.

<p>I try to do one cup in the morning now to kick me in the junk and get my shit in gear. I may think of hitting the second cup in the morning if I was up late the night before. If it's a REAL bad day, I might have to do the afternoon cup to really jumpstart things again but that's worse case scenario.</p><p>Yea, one cup for me does it.</p>

If I happen to fall asleep before 11 p.m. for some reason, I don't even need coffee and I'm usually 10 minutes early to work.

<p>I need a Dunkin Donuts Extra Large every morning or I'm supercranky. I used to only drink a cup in the morning, I don't know how I worked up to the Xtra large. Sometimes I also have a cup in the afternoon. I need to start cutting back or mixing 1/2 decaf 1/2 regular or something.</p><p>Plus I suck down Diet Dr. Pepper like its water and I'm sure thats loaded with caffeine as well.</p>

<p>Caffeine can be fatal in high enough doses - ~5-10 grams in a short period of time<br />Coffee - avg 75mg (higher or lower depending on prep method and style) 5oz cup<br />Vivarin - 200mg<br />Jolt - 150mg (new ones in big cans - not sure about classic Jolt - was supposedly double that of Coke)<br />Coke - 46mg<br />Dr. Pepper - 40mg</p><p>Effect shows up in 5 minutes, peaks in 30 minutes and it takes 4 hours for the levels to drop in half (though faster in smokers) 200-300mg a day is considered safe. 350mg a day is addictive</p><p>Jolt gum 100mg,<br />2 large coffees (16 or 20oz = 3 to 4 classic cups of coffee) 400mg<br />Tea - 40mg</p><p>TOTAL 540mg - definitely caffeine intoxication</p>
