Breaking the caffeine addiction and DCS

[acwest]

Diet Cokes are my friend and enemy...Mountain Dew has the highest content of caffeine of any soft drink other than those Red Bull varieties...

Sadly, this isn't true in Canada, here Mountain Dew has no caffeine at all. I believe we have some type of restriction that caffeinated soft drinks have to be coke-coloured, not clear. This might actually be helpful for the OP, if he can get Canadian Mountain Dew, it might help reduce the number of changes his body has to adjust to at the same time

IMO, the major benefit of getting off of Mt Dew is getting away from the HFCS, not the caffeine....

Mountain Dew without the caffeine!?!?!?! What's the point?

And actually my goal is to reduce the amount of caffeine taken in to a reasonable level and then change delivery systems away from soda.

Depends on the day and not something I was keeping track of. It easily ranged between 20+oz to a few liters. Right now I'm limiting it to 20oz until things kinda normalize then will be reducing it further. Figured it was best to get to a known baseline first.
