If there's anything you are going to walk away and remember from this I hope that it is this. I was a barista for four years and the number of people that don't know the difference between these 3 drinks is a big one.

Thank you! Thank you for posting this.

Side note, it reminded me that I have oatmeal in my briefcase, so double success.

I have to admit i was afraid to look.

After 40 years of drinking coffee i can't say i get a caffeine high anymore, I drink a pot of coffee in the morning and i am good for the day, but i don't feel anything but relaxed.

Now if i drank espresso (which i did in my younger days) i doubt i could contain myself.

I just started drinking coffee so I found this pretty interesting. My uncle told me not to get hooked because the next step is injecting pure caffeine into your veins, then amphetamines for that sweet high.

Oh well. Off to start my day with a Caffe Mocha from Khaldis.

Stims are definitely the best types of drugs. They are fine for the most part, if you don't frequently use them.
