mmm, brown.

I haven't had any caffeine or coffee at all for a week. Today I got a soy mocha. It is lovely.

Oh! no wonder you kids were so crabby. Both food and caffeine withdrawal. pobrecitas!

Well, the absence of caffeine was a side effect, not a requirement. While my favorite caffeine comes in brown, I could have found technicolor mountain dew variants, or faced the wrongness of caffeinated water- but I just don't really like them too much. All in all the absence of caffeine didn't really effect me too much. At least I don't think it did. When I got grumpy, it was more because of lack of starchy snacks than lack of caffeine, I think.

Caffeinated water is... odd. And has a big market among the 'starve yourself' crowd. :( I wrote a paper one semester on online eating disorder communities (which are totally fascinating and very, very human), and I had no idea who would possibly drink caffeinated water - until I started researching and found that it was idolized among anoretics for it's (literally) killer combination of energy without calories. :(
