    Using tea is like using decaff. Main "poison" of the tea is tein. Assuming you drink "real" tea (black or green). Herbal teas are different. Maybe the question was supposed to be "What stimulant are you using?"

    That's a different question altogether! And you'd probably need a much wider range of answers, legal and illegal. :sigh:

      But tea IS caffeine! Or is it herbal-tea?

      I think the tea has some caffeine, but not all tea. So I now drink very small amounts of caffeine. I prefer to keep it that way. I don't like being addicted to anything, not even when the rest of humanity is also addicted and it's totally acceptable.

      My blog[^]

      public class SanderRossel : Lazy<Person>
      {
      public void DoWork()
      {
      throw new NotSupportedException();
      }
      }

        Only true tea has caffeine - the average is 26 mg for a bag... If you drink herbal tea - like me - you drink no caffeine!

                    There is no difference (except the origin) between caffeine and tein! It's only names...

                    Not quite, at least as I understand it. This the same class of chemicals, but not the same molecule. Same goes for coccoa variant (theobromine) "Theobromine is the active ingredient in Chocolate and it occurs only in Cacao. The two stimulants are related and have a similar structures, but are very different chemicals with different properties, effects and origins. There are of course, some Chocolate products that have added caffeine, but it does not occur naturally in Chocolate."

                      There is no such thing 'tein' (or teine or teain or teaine) in chemistry...The word created to point out - the then unknown - difference between how tea and coffee influence people...(coffee has only caffeine where tea has also some theobromine)... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caffeine#Tea[^]

                          Yup, in bavaria (which is not Germany anyomore, if you listen to bavarians) they are allowed to drink beer, but it's not the case everywhere in bavaria, they are slightly trying to throw that away. Anyways, having a good ol "Feierabendbier" is still one of the best beers :)

                                    I see the need for a propositional calculus article.

                                    Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.
