>I am convinced that Caffeine is a much more powerful stimulant than we coffee drinkers think it is. Absolutely. I really don't think I'm some sort of outlier, and when I'm not in a cycle of dependence on caffeine and have a cup of coffee I feel an intense high. I'd compare the euphoria to being very drunk. I definitely feel awake, alert, and very focused -- but I can also tell that I'm not using the exact same kind of judgement as I do sober.
