Drinking COFFEE instead of COCA for CAFFEINE? - General Health Message Board

Hi,

I have that problem like many of you. I'm addicted to Caffeine and when I drink a can of Cola I feel much better. When I drink Coffee I don't feel the same feeling

I can't understand why is that. It's not the sugar because I don't add sugar to my coffee and I drink diet coca. Can anyone comment on this?
Thanks for help,
Michael

I place my vote in for coffee. I have friends who swear by the cokes. To me, i prefer coffee.

I find that I need both soda AND coffee or I just don't feel right! They each give a different kind of buzz. I really need to quit all forms of caffeine and soon but it is dam hard..

Yes it's very hard

. I have few days off but I think I need more than 4 days. Soda has a better effect on my brain more than coffee and this is not working for my health at all.
Thanks for help,

Regular coffee has more caffeine than soda. I find that if i drink a soda instead of coffee i'm still a zombie in the morning. I don't know why you would experience the opposite. It must be the sweetener in the diet soda.Or maybe your coffee is decaf?
