How many caffeinated drinks do you have in a day?

0 - 7 (58%)
1 - 2 (16%)
2 - 3 (25%)
3 or more - 0

I don't drink much caffeine, a glass here or there, not everyday. Over the past 4 years, 42 of those months I have either been pregnant or nursing one of the boys. During that time I tried to avoid caffeine ~ I wouldn't say I eliminated it completely. When I did have caffeine it didn't seem to affect me, until very recently.

Once at lunch time I had a Pepsi and that night I could not go to sleep. Some times when I buy groceries I will pick up a Lipton glass bottled ice tea with lemon. There is something about that specific ice tea that I find sooo refreshing in the afternoon. But it too kept me up at night. I really don't need anything else keeping me awake at night ~ Andrew does a pretty good job at that.

I would stop drinking pop altogether, but there are certain foods that I just need a pop with...for example pizza and mexican foods. And I would prefer a Pepsi or Coke to Sprite or 7up or some other caffeine free pop. At home I have caffeine free Pepsi but on the rare occasion that we do go to a restaurant they don't have that. I guess you can't always have the best of both worlds.

Are you from Pittsburgh or S.W PA, So far that's the only place I've heard people use"pop" for soda.
