There is powder, but I know this guy on the forums who got SERIOUSLY fvcked up on that sh!t. Just use moderation and realize that you have had more than you think.

Strong coffee, or OTC caffeine pills. Ephedrine if you like it.

Simply having caffeine without the palatable drink is like a crank addict losing their teeth without the high. Why would you want only the side-effect?

You can buy your own coffee for a lot cheaper than you can get them at a coffee shop if that's what you want. Soda has way too much damn sugar too.

Coffee is not expensive.

Unless you buy it at Starbucks every day. Brew your own, it's cheap cheap.

You can get a pound of grounds for like 6-8$, and that will brew how many pots of coffee? like 25? :p

Shrug.

People seem to like the caffeine pills, but they're hardly cheaper per mg than coffee.

BTW caffeine is terrible for your body and is incredibly addictive. Be careful when dealing with massive caffeine intake. A good amount of caffeine will give you the same high as cocaine.

If you're looking to wake up or to stay awake, eat fruit. It's much more effective. Apples and lemons are great at that.

Are you talking about brewing or buying cheap coffee? It is very possible to get a cheap french press and brew high quality coffee(with +caffeine from the french press) for pretty cheap, atleast compared to buying coffee from a coffee shop.

I take it you have neither had large amounts of caffeine or any cocaine.

Or you have different definitions of "large amounts."
