There is like 5mg of caffeine in green tea. Compared to the 8 cans of diet coke (38mg per can).
10mg vs 400mg. C'mon.
Edit: I was unclear. I drink decaf tea.
From later post:
"I basically make my green tea decaf. You brew it once, for only a few minutes. That gets most of the caffeine out, but leaves a lot of flavor. I pour out the first batch, then I brew the same leaves again."
yea but its prolonging your withdrawal, doesnt matter how much caffeine it is. if its in you, you;re going to withdrawal for as long until you completely remove it, then go through withdrawal.
edit: after googling, its 20mg per 8 oz, so 40mg not 10mg

You need to try good coffee. I buy green unroasted coffee and roast as needed, you can't find coffee like that very often, and it never needs additives like cream or sugar.
One negative of my hobby is that I find it difficult to tolerate coffee from anywhere outside of my kitchen.

Jesus! How much caffeine do you consume a day? I drink about a cup and a half of coffee every morning but that's it for the day. I'm almost 40 and I could give up caffeine tomorrow.

I would say six caffeine drinks a day. A coke in the morning, a coke at lunch, a coke in the afternoon, and a few cokes in the evening.
Actually, I've stopped drinking caffeine in the morning. Whats strange is that I don't drink caffeine til about 2pm now, but I can wake up at 8am and feel great and not tired.
Fundamentally it bothers me being addicted to something like that. Absolutely needing anything to get through the day does not appeal to me.
Need my two - three cups in the morning (that's what my travelers mug holds) or I can't function during the day. My day lasts from 8am to 1am almost every day.

Though I've been drinking it almost every day lately..I've noticed that if I force myself to go a little while without it, it feels great again without the tolerance I've built up over drinking it on a regular basis. Of course it doesn't help that my roommate buys a bunch of delicious flavors and always makes too much...oh well.

And people complain that smokers are addicted and can't quit... Sheesh.
I drink ice water all day and that's it. I rarely get more than 7 hours of sleep. I'm never tired during the day, unless there's nothing to do at work, and have no problems staying up late or getting up early.
I used to live on Mtn Dew in college but now I don't drink caffeine at all unless I don't have an option in a diet soda that has caffeine.

When you exercise, eat right, and get enough sleep, you'd be surprised how much energy you have throughout the day. Either way, I still drink half a pot a day
I have about 3 espresso's a day at least...they are mug size not demi tasse
There's a difference between drinking it more and more and more each day to make up for your built up tolerance to feel good, and to use caffeine strategically to perform better in critical times, like presentations, meetings, driving late at night.
5 mg in decaf green tea
20-50 mg in green tea
~100 mg in 1 cup of drip coffee
80 mg red bull (the rest of the feel good is a marketing celebration of the transfering of your money to their corporate bank account)
You got soda about right.

I personally just buy the rainforest blend from caribou coffee and grind it up myself. All other coffee's suck now.
