Caffeine makes me impatient and neurotic. So I drink non-caffeinated tea instead. Sugar demolishes me. I'm useless on a sugar high. I compensate with fiber and fat so I can use the energy. Alcohol, I hate how it makes me feel. Angry and uninterested in actual work. I only drink a beer or two when forced to socialize with drinkers. I feel that the best code comes out when I'm mellow, but with just enough energy. Too much or too little usually leads to not wanting to do anything related to programming. I guess it's just about keeping things balanced.
