I drink up to 4 or 5 cups of green tea a day. I used to drink black tea, but when I started University, I figured that I’d be drinking a LOT more. So thought I might as well drink the healthiest out there. It works very well! It makes me feel very revitalised and restores my energy at times. I would definitely recommend it.
I have a terrible intolerance to alcohol. Energy drinks, too. Anything high in caffeine.
When I drink, I get very, very tired. I only have one drink of alcohol (if that) when I’m out on occasions. Alcohol gives me a high for about a solid 10 minutes, then I go back down to an extreme low (tired, cranky, upset, cannot be bothered to socialise). I have not met anybody who shares this weird intolerance. Sure, I’ve met lightweights…but not as leightwight as I can be!
And Tiddler, did you mention that you can’t be put on a prescription for your ADD in England?
