I can't usually make it through the morning without at least 2 mountain dews. I hate coffee, and that is the next best thing I guess.

Quoted: I can't usually make it through the morning without at least 2 mountain dews. I hate coffee, and that is the next best thing I guess. Mt Dew!? I'm not sure if its just rumor or truth. But I have heard that the high amount of Green Food coloring in that stuff decreases a mans sperm count. Like I said, I'm not sure. |

Maybe that's why I don't have any kids.

Caffeine got me through nearly 20 years in the fast food business. I bet my last year in that business I was up to a gallon of cola, whatever,
as long as it had caffeine, a day. It's been hard weaning myself off of the soda water/pop. That stuff will sure put the weight on you and will seriously mess up your teeth at that amount. |

I used to be pretty good about avoiding caffeine. Then I took a new ambulance job where I would sometimes work a 48 hour+ shift, and if it was a busy one with little downtime, caffeine became a necessity.

I'm addicted to caffeine.
I drink coffee every morning and Mt. Dew every afternoon virtually all day. It's better than the 2.5 packs of cigarettes I used to smoke per day...[smoke] |

Quoted: But I have found lately I have been drinking 6-7+ sodas a day! At least its Diet. What do you mean "at least it's diet"? The aspartame sweetner is made from formaldehyde and methanol, and it breaks back down into those compounds in your body. Do a Google search on aspartame and see what comes up. |

All that's a normal day occurrence for me! |

But I have heard that the high amount of Green Food coloring in that stuff decreases a mans sperm count. Like I said, I'm not sure. Rumor. Trust me, as an ex-UMass student (where Mountain Dew was easier to find than water), there was a vested interest in knowing. Heck, I think there's even a page on Snopes exposing it as a myth. 6-7 diet sodas a day? Not bad...not bad....at my peak I was averaging 4-5 liters of regular soda a day.....now I do that in about a month. My recommendation to you, go with something like Water Joe (water but with caffiene added). All the fun of caffiene but without the sugar/aspartame of the soda set. |

That could very well be true, but they're usually swimmin' so damn fast, I can't get a good count. Plus they tend to blend in with the sides of the shower. As far as being 'addicted' to the stuff, if I go without caffeine for more than like 6 hours, I get bad headaches. |

We tried it as birth control, and, well, our son is almost a yer old. |

I heard that caffine and smoking kills your eyes...I've got 20/13 in both eyes...so I stopped drinking soda and sealed the coffin on not smoking...Just keep that in mind when I'm shooting against you at matches...[;D]
