What about other sorts of caffeinated beverages, like energy drinks or even Mountain Dew? (Some people say it helps ADHD. I'll be making another video about that in the future.) If so, how do you feel caffeine affects you? Have you ever taken a break from it? How did it go? If you don't consume caffeine, why not? Is it a matter of personal preference, interference with medication, doctor's orders? I'd love to hear your story! Would you ever consider giving up caffeine?
