Jitters.

Agreed. I tried taking caffeine pills to replace my morning mocha to reduce my calories, and it took me almost a week to realize that my morning queasiness was due to the pills.

For many people, the pure, uncut goodness leads to shakes and jitters. I’m one of those people. I took them occasionally in college or on long road trips, but I’ve stayed away for a few years now. The jolt of being awake wasn’t worth the general uneasy feeling that I associate with too much caffeine.

I take caffeine pills (200mg) only when I am going to the gym. Normal days I only use coffee because the pills gives you a really good kick, thus the jitters.

Taste.

Anecdotal evidence here, I made the mistake of taking a caffeine pill once, on top of several cups of coffee. Figured my tolerance was high and when the coffee wasn’t enough it’d be fine to try one. Bad idea.

Please see “Saved By The Bell” Season 2, Episode 9. It seems to allude to the fact that caffeine pills are a gateway to more serious drug usage. “I’m so excited, I’m so excited...I’m so scared”

I order lemonade instead of drinking, and have lollipop or gum instead of smoking. If you have no qualms for weed, it is also a better alt to cigarette.

I’ve added an update to the bottom of the post, but I don’t think there’s anything incorrect here. We quoted Entrepreneur—they’re the ones that refer to this as a loophole, but I’ve clarified that, too. I’m 100% for your cause, but I think it’s important for people to know where this regulation comes from, and where…

I’m getting overwhelmed trying to think of who my five favorite people are. Can’t I just pick one?

Good to know—thanks for clarifying! From what I’ve read, the 1994 program that allowed this new repayment to happen is a bit vague and policymakers are working to tighten it up, so as of right now, there’s still no guarantee for repayment, but they’re working on it?

A likely excuse. How do I know it’s not just a self-timer shot on a tripod?

Nope. I have an MA. My thesis looked at on-line environmental activism vs. real-world environmental action/behaviours. It’s based in cognitive dissonance theory. I run an environmental not-for-profit.

All hyperbole and vitriol aside, it comes down to personal preference.
