Caffeine

as i sit here sipping on my extremely hot grande starbucks pike's place drip coffee, i wanted to share some info about the caffeine content of various drinks that we all consume on a daily basis. click here for the link to the caffeine database, which calls itself "the most complete list of beverage caffeine content online". now, that's saying something...after all, we all know the internet doesn't lie! i did find out that the 16 ounces of coffee i'm currently enjoying contains 330 mg of caffeine, while the typical "energy drink" (red bull, amp, rock star, monster, etc.) only contains on average 118 mg of caffeine, while being nearly the same amount of fluid. interesting stuff (thanks kyle for even putting the idea in my head to research the caffeine content of various beverages... we are dorks)! if you're ever feeling really, really tired, or if you need to drive cross-country without sleep, try ammo...1 ounce, 171 mg of caffeine. or perhaps after drinking one of those, you should drive yourself to the hospital, because you're probably gunna have a heart attack...
