Not enough, apparently. Unfortunately, despite the high caffeine levels in soda, the sugar content never fails to put me to sleep.

Mine looks like 572.

One 16 oz cup of dripped joe this morning and three 20 oz glasses of unsweetened iced tea. I probably should start to switch some of the tea out for water, but then, I wouldn’t be posting after 4:00 am now, would I? 😛

I’ve had way too much. My entire body feels weird.

I won’t be having any more.

Looks like 322.5 – two cups of brewed coffee ( I brew it pretty strong, though, so it might be more. That’s def below average for me this late in the workweek!
