The decaffeination of Mere

The end of Day 2:

In the spirit of nerdiness, I cannot just decide to stop (or ween myself off of) caffeine, I have to do research.

A usual day in the life consists of:

wake up – drink diet coke, also having a cup of green tea a few times a week

mid morning – another diet coke

lunch – diet coke

I never drink anything caffeinated after 3 pm.

In my research I found out there are 45.6 milligrams of caffeine in a diet coke. There are 15 milligrams in a cup of green tea.

That is an average of 145 milligrams of caffeine per day. In contrast today I had 1/2 of a diet coke and 1 cup of green tea for a total of 38 milligrams of caffeine.

And I wonder why I am in such a crappy mood and needed a 3 hour nap?
