Need some addiction advice
« on: November 28, 2005, 04:53:01 PM »
Sugar.  It does nothing for me anymore.  I can drink 5 or more sodas in one night and nothing happens.  No sugar rush, no caffeine high, nothing.  Have i gone too far?  Am I addicted to natures crack?

I've never noticed a "sugar rush" from anything. IMHO, it's a wive's tale.

As for caffeine... Jolt was the only softdrink that I ever noticed the caffeine.

Where has thou Jolt gone.  They used to sell it at 7-11 but now it's gone.  Too many people flipping on caffeine and going insane?

No because if I took Ritalin I would be in a near vegetative state almost my whole day, not good.  Yes, I am THAT calm at school.

Ya just HAD to drink the stuff. All the sugar, twice the caffine. It's BAD for ya! Great marketing!

I still have a Jolt neon sign I talked them out of in the 90's.

Beer is healthier than soda. Cheaper the better is the way to go!

Beer tastes nasty and sucks in general.

The "diet" on the label of the soda you have been drinking means it contains no sugar.  The 'Free' means no caffine.

Stop drinking this stuff.

I had a monster 20 minutes before entering the Warped Tour this year, it had no effect whatsoever.  Diet I won't drink because it's just as bad as regular yet tastes worse.



And beer still sucks.

Sugar isn't really that addictive as carbohydrates are.  Takes a couple weeks to get used to limiting them.
