If it's coffee/tea, how do you take it? I typically end up consuming 200-400 Mg a day depending on if I go to the gym or work overnight. I either do black coffee (iced ideally) or sugar free redbull/monster. I'm considering switching to caffeine pills but I know it wont scratch that habitual itch of drinking it down.

One black coffee in the morning on most days. Coffee doesn’t seem to affect me but it’s a nice part of my morning routine. If I’m invited to a cafe or offered coffee at someone’s house I might have a second if it’s not too late in the day. Throughout the day, I might drink herbal and fruit teas that don’t contain caffeine (or minimal amounts of it).

It really becomes such a big part of routine. That's why I think caffeine pills would kinda suck. Sure, they'd do the job mechanically but I'd be missing the action.

There is decaffeinated coffee if you’re looking to reduce your caffeine intake but still miss the process of making and drinking it.

This is my routine too. If I miss that one cup, I get a headache and hate that. But any more and I get too jittery.
