Do You Take Caffeine Before Your Show?

[DebPC]

I discovered a couple of years ago if I drank a diet coke during my prep time, my demo was much more enthusiatic and energetic.
Now I take 1/2 a Foosh Mint. These are energy mints-each one has the amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee. Works great!
Share with us- do you or don't you?

I don't. I'm usually wound up enough - if I added caffeine, I'd never even sleep that night

Deb, and this is your fault! After you mentioned the Diet Coke thing I found I gravitated toward Diet Mountain Dew. And it is the full liter size! I find the nearest gas station before the hosts' house and grab that bottle. First hing I do when I get there is unload, uncap and gulp. Plus, after many trips to many places where the water was just gross, and diet soda was not on the menu, I needed to bring my own. So why not my favorite caffeinated beverage? And yes, it defiantly is a boost. Of course then I wonder why it takes me the drive home and several more hours to fall asleep! DUH!
