7/29/2008 12:48:19 PM

red flavor always give my dad and brother headaches. that could be the problem.

7/29/2008 12:49:39 PM

purple drink

7/29/2008 12:50:16 PM

I want that purple stuff

7/29/2008 12:52:01 PM

mine was orange

i forgot how tasty kool aid was, so i got like 4 packs.

i'd never heard of kool-aid headaches, maybe i'll try the purple kind i got before i give up.

i can deal with a lot of crap, but not being able to wake up is not one of those things

it's not the caffeine it's the sugar

7/29/2008 12:52:53 PM

don't you have to ween yourself off caffeine? I hope you didn't go cold turkey on it.

The old standby of Fruit Punch is still my favorite.

I quit coffee cold turkey last Monday and just started drinking it again today. I had headaches some of the days, but I think they were due to me wearing old not-strong-enough glasses instead of contacts.

Try switching to coffee or tea, it's a healthier way to get some good ol' caffeine.

i only used a little over half a cup of sugar on the whole thing, thats like.. half... what the pack said. its not sugar, i used to eat like 2 milkshakes a day after i got out of HAB, yo.

I quit caffeine cold-turkey a month or so ago. I didnt really get headaches after the first day or two. But when I did, I took a BC powder, which has some minimal amount of caffeine in it

I went out and picked up some of those powder packets of crystal light and propel fitness water and mix up drinks all day.

I also bought a bunch of lemons/limes, cut them in half, squeezed out some juice into a glass, put the lemons into said glass, and filled the glass with water.

not drinking sodas has made me feel a lot healthier than I used to feel, and the doctor said my blood pressure went down significantly over the last month

if this were Jeopardy, the question would be:

"What did the broke nug say when Food Lion stopped taking food stamps for soda?"

I quit cold turkey a few months ago. I only drank maybe one soda a day, so my headaches only lasted a few days.
