As a substitute, the use of stong coffee and tea is common. It is not intoxicating and they have developed a stong tolerance for it. We have to be very careful and not try to match them. Several of my friends have had bad caffeine reactions during or following business meetings with agents or clients. One of my friends ended up in a a Turkish hospital near the Syrian border with a supected heart attack caused by reaction to caffeine and whatever else was in the tea. That was a frightening experience on many levels.JIM LAMBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04401819524224868262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7778441.post-1163101327282530272006-11-09T14:42:00.000-05:002006-11-09T14:42:00.000-05:00When I was in Italy working shift work, I would be...When I was in Italy working shift work, I would be up all night and I drank espresso by the bucket to help me stay awake. <BR/><BR/>You know the stuff they serve in the little demitasse? Buckets. I got to where I could only sleep three hours a night. Plus, smoked three packs of cigarettes a day. <BR/><BR/>I quit them both at once, both cold turkey, and actually suffered hallucinations on the way to coming clean.<BR/><BR/>Too much caffeine? I would have to say yes.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09149694202473496291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7778441.post-1163087254527318702006-11-09T10:47:00.000-05:002006-11-09T10:47:00.000-05:00And if you'd been using illicit drugs, we'd call t...And if you'd been using illicit drugs, we'd call that "speedballing"...Ellen Clair Lambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14944288413332520719noreply@blogger.com
