I limit caffeine to once or twice a week, in Ice Tea with natural sugar.

Instead of having coffee, switch to OJ. I use to prepare a 32oz cup with soda (DR Pepper) every morning before work. Until I realized it was making me sick with nausea and stomach pains. Now, I pour a 16oz glass with OJ and Ice every morning. I feel better and actually lost a little weight.

Then switch to pomegranate juice (or something combined with it)

It's one of the main flavoring agents (out of the 23 they claim to have) in Dr. Pepper        :aok

It only lasts a day or two and it's worth it.

After I was able to quit smoking, dropping caffeine was easy as pie.  And I lost over ten pounds just by taking soda out of my diet.

Both, however I drink soda much more than coffee. I am not too worried about my weight considering I am still young and have an over-active metabolism (for now). I would give up soda but today is not that day because I need to be productive and not to mention the lack of pain killers. Today I have been rather slow and easily distracted. I think I will start this weekend.

I know I have an addictive personality, so I am glad I never started smoking and have to be careful with alcohol (especially considering my father is a bad alcoholic)

Von, lets try one of those other 22 please. :)
Speaking of mountain dew, whatever happened to that instant sugar coma called surge?

I have the same thing, if I don't drink any caffeine by late afternoon I can fell the headache starting.  Usually happens if I run out of pop, but if this happens I found a good way to counter the headache, just take 2 Excedrin, each pill has 65mg of caffeine in them.
