What are some of the best ways to caffeinate oneself?!
Answers:
Because I hate coffee (even the smell of it, yuck...), don't like the taste of diet dodas, and can't consume the useless calories in regular sodas or "energy" drinks, I take a 200 mg caffeine pill available at Walmart called "Jet Alert". It's around $4.00 for 90 of them, and each pill contains the amount of caffeine in about 2 cups of coffee.
I've used them for about 15 years wit no ill effects, but I never take them within 8 hours of bedtime.
