Kirkham ENGLAND My thoughts: I like it sometimes b/c it can pep you up when you are down on energy although it has a negative affect which is dry out your system. So if you drink a caffeine drink b/c you are thirsty, you are really defeating the purpose. I stay away from them but not always. Stephanie, 25

Dallas, TX USA Many, many years ago I read a wonderful book called "The Nun's Story" and in it it told about nuns that worked the late shift at a hospital. They each kept a pocket filled with caffeine tablets and popped one when they started to feel sleepy. I wasn't sure about caffeine but I figured if nuns took it, it must not be too bad. Forty years later I was in a job that was very boring and sometimes I would get very sleepy. So I bought a pack of Vivarin, caffeine tablets equal to the amount of caffeine in two cups of coffee. When I need some pep, or just need to stay awake, I take a bite of one. Since I don't drink coffee or Coke I am not used to caffeine and one-third of a tablet is plenty. Reba, 50+
Silver Spring, MD USA I don't intentionally seek caffeine out, but I happen to sometimes drink things that have caffeine in it. I'm more or less apathetic towards it. Johanna, 18

Austin, TX USA I truly believe in the wise saying "everything in moderation."
