I drink a cup of tea every morning, and I sometimes drink Coke. I'm not addicted to them, since they have relatively little amounts of caffeine in them, but I find the tea helps me wake up in the morning.

The waters of the port were choppy. After I set off, there was a long, massive storm.
Years later, however, the sea calmed. I'm still on tranquil sea, but I'll never reach the Neurotypical Beach.

I try to stay away from caffeine these days, especially when it's in Mountain Dew. It's energy boost screws up my ability to sleep and if I stop taking it after long periods of ingesting it I get headaches.

Yeah, the caffeine/sugar combination messes with me badly too. I can drink a moderate amount of coffee, but I can't handle the particular form of caffeine that is in tea.
