    Which way, more or less caffeine?

    That confirms it. Somebody restrain this man while I give him an injection to medically induce a coma while his body goes through withdrawal. If we make him do it awake, he'll go insane and hang himself with his own straitjacket.

      If You mean Joe, then yes. I make a pot when I wake up (5 AM). Then on my way to work I stop and have a 24 oz. cup. Then by 9 AM I have another. Not an addict though!

          Is there anybody who just craves or is "addicted to coffee" as a software developer, computer/system programmer or just plain "programmer." For instance, you may pause a project briefly just to brew and sip a cup of Joe. Like you cannot live or cannot survive a day without thinking about having a craving of this drug?

            Inject? Isn't that dangerous, does your body have to chemically break it down, or it will kill you by poisoning.

                Wouldn't coffee or generally drugs be a kernel driver, since it affects your system. Drugs to humans like Drivers to machines.

                        That means that you have ADD or ADHD. The mechanics of how stimulants work are not fully understood, but it is well known that stimulants have the opposite effect in those with severe attention deficit disorders. I unfortunately am quite familiar with what it is like to being around someone with said affliction. :-( The worst case I know is my (ex) father in law, who used to make a whole pot and drink it before bed. I can't drink any caffeine after 14:00 or I can't get to sleep at night.

                          If it's daylight, I drink coffee; when it's not, I'm drinking scotch. I see no need for anything else.

                            Well - I can life without coffee. But the less coffee I drink the more ciggies I smoke. And more important than coffee and ciggies is music - I almost die if I forget my headphones at home. Once they broke in the morning after about one hour working. A painful experience.

                              This could have been a super great thread if it had been titled "Coke and Programming?"... :-\ I cannot stand the taste of coffee. I have tried many variations and the closest I can get is the Vanilla Frappuccino from Starbucks sold in bottles in many stores. I drink Coke or Monster energy drink. The "Absolute Zero" from Monster is drinkable. BTW, I think we need an icon for a programmer all hopped up on caffeine :-O Soren Madsen

                                I have one of these[^] I fill with an entire pot of coffee before I leave for work each morning. While I admit that my coffee recipe is 50% decaf, I still drink a lot of the stuff.

                                  That sounds familiar. When I was in college, I would have a cup or two at home, and then stop in one of the campus lounges and get their biggest cup before my first class. At some point during my second class I would start withdrawing, so I'd dry swallow a couple Vanquish[^] and a couple NoDoz, much to the amazement and disgust of the people around me. If caffeine had the same effect as anabolic steroids, I'd make Arnold Schwarzenegger look like Wally Cox[^].

                                      I drink coffee better than I write code. There are days when I drink more coffee than code so my lifestyle balance is good.:java:

                                        Wait a second. What happened with your bet? Did I miss the post where you broke down and admitted you lost the bet to your friend? Tsk, tsk, tsk :) Soren Madsen
