For those who wondered about the caffeine table in the Maker's Notebook...
Category Everything Else
... here's the low-down:
Let's see... given this chart, I get approximately... 450 to 600 milligrams a day... on a "normal" day. It has gone much higher than that.
And I wonder why my caffeine tolerance is so high... as I finish off the two liter bottle of Diet Dr Pepper. :)

Sunkist has how much!?
Good thing I stick to coke and pepsi, the rest sound like one would be bouncing down a hall like a basketball.

But nothing beats a double espresso.

I have to say I am sleeping better and apart from my "near miss" traffic problem last night my temper has been a lot less friable

But at one of the Lotuspheres, they had Jolt and I grabbed one. I was shaking after drinking it and had NO concentration ability. I'm glad I know where my limit is.
Thanks Tom !
