Caffeine Addicts Get No Additional Perk, Only a Return To Baseline
Dthief writes "Bristol University researchers found that coffee drinkers develop a tolerance to both the anxiety-producing and the stimulating effects of caffeine, meaning that it only brings them back to baseline levels of alertness, not above them. 'Although frequent consumers feel alerted by caffeine, especially by their morning tea, coffee, or other caffeine-containing drink, evidence suggests that this is actually merely the reversal of the fatiguing effects of acute caffeine withdrawal,' wrote the scientists, led by Peter Rogers of Bristol's department of experimental psychology."
So either I have to use Red Bull's oddball sugar-enriched BS for a charge (which I'll probably build up a tolerance to), or seek out alternatives like - METH (it's what's for breakfast! Yummy mmmmmeth!).
Coffee reaches its full potential at the 100th cup.

Yes, we start our life by getting out of one, and spend the rest trying to get back in there. Into any womb.
WTF am I doing replying to an AC at 5 A.M on a Friday night?

Very good, sir. But this is a dry cleaning shop.
Man, have you ever sucked a dick for caffeine?
I don't think that's where coffee comes from...
