well i stopped drinking caffiene about 5 months ago when i read of how serious of a drug it is. But when i hang out with other sXe people i notice that some still drink coke and pepsi and stuff, and others don't. Personally im not sure if i'll go the rest of my life without caffeine cause i don't know how big of a deal it is. But it's easy to say that i'll be edge for life. so i was wondering what does everyone think about caffeine?

There are a fair few threads on this subject, my personal deal is that caffine is a drug, and a pretty addictive and damaging one to boot, I personaly steer clear.

Arr!
Caffeine be a natural substancer and it be in lots of things like chocolate and apples and such arr.
I wouldn't recommend givin up caffeine totally as things like apples can help prevent scurvy, and ye don't be wantin that. Fake caffeine in cola's and pills an' such be nasty tho. arr.
I don't really know if I have a point...just cuz it be natural doesn't mean its safe I suppose...arr....
but apples are good, so they be.

you need to do more research to be a proper pirate. especially since apples aren't high in vitamin c and scurvy is a vitamin c definceny.

I'm semi-trying to stay in character.
In those days we didn't know that it was vitamin C that be causin scurvey. We jist knew that fresh fruits be preventin' it. Ships would often leave with apples in the hold to preven sailors from getting sick. Since you have to restock often they would pick up what was available at port markets. In the caribbean that happened to be things like lemons, limes and oranges. Things that be havin vitamin C, so they do. They didn't realize that apples didn't help for a long time.

'course, we didn't know that apples had caffeine either....
arr.

I think the sea air might have gotten to your brain. I'm fairly certain apples don't have caffeine. cyanide in the seeds yeah.

except that the amount of caffiene that's in chocolate is the same as a decaf cup of coffee so it's hardly worth concerning yourself about.

well if you give it up make sure you give it up for good, cos it really fucks with your head, even after just a month.
