During college I swore by drinking ice cold water and eating healthy food during all nighters. I could almost always outlast the coffee and Mountain Dew drinkers with the added benefits of not being jittery during the test and being able to sleep well for a nap or the next night! I was also horrified to learn that for pregnant women caffeine stays in their system for 4-8 hours, but takes 24 hours (or longer!) to leave the baby's system. Stuff is really poison, shame it tastes so good :) The best part of your near 100 days caffeine free is that you've created a new healthier cheaper habit! And I think you'll find that most soda doesn't taste good anymore either now that you've retrained your taste buds! Surprising how your body works so well without the caffeine isn’t it?

I once saw a study which showed the effects of various drugs, like cocaine and LSD, on spiders. By far, Caffeine was the worst. Now, we're not spiders, but still. Don't let Starbucks find out about this though. They might come after you! - Dave I’m pretty impressed that you’ve been able to kick the caffeine habit.

It usually feels dreadful when I drink soft drinks these days, although Lucozade got me through manys the late night during college. Having said that, I'd sooner give up my left arm than my milky tea, go figure. Congrats on the 97 days! I read an interesting thread over at Mefi the other day about the risks/benefits of using Red Bull, of all things, while doing cardio ..... you might be interested. http://tinyurl.com/8kks4x Caffeine withdrawal sure does suck; I had to quit coffee a few years ago after succumbing to some duodenal ulcers and my husband didn’t talk to me for three days I was so unbearable.
