Diet Pepsi. And Diet Mountain Dew. Many, many cans/bottles/cups daily. It’s hell when I don’t remember to grab one on my way out the door . . . takes quite a while for professors to start making sense when you’re uncaffinated. And tea is wonderful too - though not as common a choice for me. Mmm . . . green tea . . . ---

Coffee. Coffee, and more coffee. Black. Sometimes Earl Grey tea. Took me 2 yrs to figure out why I always woke up with a headache on the weekends… wasn’t getting my fix early enough. [Homer]Rasa no function coffee well without[/Homer] ---
