Caffeine pills and water

Does anyone else consume caffeine pills and just water instead of an energy drink, soda, tea or coffee?
Lately ive been trying to accomplish new goals with staying away from preservatives and sugar etc. Needed my caffeine so I went straight to the pills and its worked out very well. Wondering if I was alone with this.

I take them occasionally during my 12hr. work shifts with no complaints. They're similar to the 5-hr. Energy drinks in the way that they either work exceptionally well or not at all.

Viva la energy drinks!!!
I should probably do what you are doing OP, especially since I consume 3 energy drinks in most days. The thing about energy drinks is that there long term effects have not really been studied, so who knows what people like me are doing to themselves.

phuck 3 a day! That's a lot!
I cant even bring myself to drink a diet soda lately. Ive got this crazy notion in my head they are messing up muscle build and weight loss. So I cut all of it or anything with excess sugar, no more than 37 grams a day. Caffeine is a must tho!

I pop those joints for work sometimes, we call them crack rocks. I don't know who it is that says they're equal to a cup of coffee, they must drink hella coffee on steroids. I think the pjlls offer a cleaner energy boost without the crash I notice with energy drinks.
I dont get into any routine though because they'll jack your stomach I've found but if you're not feeling it at work, pop a crack rock and in 30 minutes you'll be flying all over the place.

I do, but I usually take mine with tea, just because I like tea (too bad it doesn't have enough of a boost!) The hot drink helps the pills dissolve and kick in faster IME.
I'm too much of a sugar freak I would never be able to drink the amount of energy drinks to get the same amount of caffeine as a few pills, except the ones here are only 50mg, I take 100-200mg a go usually and it's a decent pick me up if you have nothing else.
It's very handy having some lying about though, I must say.

Strong green tea is the shit!
It would be hard to get the equivalent dose though

One cant beat .13 cents a pill either. Coffee,tea,soda or energy drink ranges anywhere from 1-5 dollars here.
Definitely a sugar freak too! My added sugars are only from beer now which equal about 20-40 grams a day

I prefer to get my caffeine in green tea or good coffee--that way you get anti-oxicidants. With a pill all you get is a drug.

I agree the green tea thing is good for your body.
The whole thing is curious and its amazing how fast the mind/body starts scrambling for nutrients/vitamins if you hold them back.
For me its jump started my weight loss and energy levels. Im consuming black coffee here and their but im still consuming the pills regularly.

I once had a tea spoon of pure caffeine (2000mg) and ended up vomiting bile for 12 hours.
Don't go beyond 500mg in a dose and you should be g =)
