For whatever its worth, plenty of people in this gig don't abuse caffeine and often don't have any at all. I rarely have more than one coffee a day, and often have none. I don't drink energy drinks or soda (except perhaps when out to eat). Francisco doesn't drink any coffee. Tom, on the other hand, has a bit of a red bull addiction. I'd guess anecdotally that most of my friends in startups behave more like me than like Tom or Francisco.

Or, to look at it another way.... "The four food groups for programmers are salt, sugar, fat and caffeine." All joking aside, my diet has it's good days and it's bad days. But I do like my coffee, that's for sure.
