It is possible that my caffeine addiction is out of control. Had a raging headache all afternoon that Advil, aspirin, a dark, quiet office, and copious amounts of water could not touch.

I finally realized that I had only had one medium-sized dark roast today. (My usual is a tall black-eye first thing in the morning and then another cup of dark roast mid-morning and with lunch, if I don't make and consume the full pot at home in the morning. It's worse over the holidays, because I make coffee continuously when we and guests are at home all day.)

Stopped and got a red-eye on my way home.

So much better now.

This sounds like me. :D

I console myself with the thought that if one must have a substance abuse problem, at least this one is legal and relatively inexpensive. ;)

What's really funny is that I used this as an excuse the other day when my mom said something about how much money I spend at Starbucks. :D

I can quit any time. I don't know what you're talking about.


(It is a tragedy that Red Hook is not allowed to brew their Double Black Stout any more - it was a stout brewed with Starbucks coffee. It was the Best Beer Ever To Pass My Lips.)

Why are they not allowed to brew it anymore?

The FDA and various state laws make it very difficult for breweries to brew, package, and sell products that contain both alcohol and caffeine, because it's a stimulant. You can always BUY alcohol and mix it with caffeine (like vodka and Red Bull, right?), but regulations have gotten stricter on having them brewed together.
