Caffeine
 

Our old friend Monsanto...

I'm trying to remember which Larry Niven book it was where in the future marijuana was legal but tobacco and caffeine were outlawed. Probably more than one, now that I think about it.

I avoid caffeine like the plague. No coffee, only decaf tea, and caffeine-free Pepsis.

Oh, and ginger ale, I drink a lot of ginger ale.

I had to give up caffeine as part of my surgery...basically quit in January with some occasionally between then and June (surgery was in late June). I don't miss it.

The only way I knew I gave it up was I started sleeping more. Actually, I fell asleep easier, and quicker.

And ever since I've given it up, I tend to want to sleep and wake up around the same time every day.

It's everywhere.

I gave up chasing young women. I gave up my cigars. I pretty much gave up my whiskey. But by Bod, they aren't going to take my caffeine!!!!! It's about the only thing I have left in nasty habits. Oh, that and gluten. You aren't getting my gluten either!!!!!!!!!!!!

My last vice. I need a coffee plant capable of handling grifftopian winters.
