Caffeine in LES. How do we get this to happen? TH, in response to the spring

Meh. Caffeine headaches have become part of the climate for me now.

Can't you skip caffeine for 3 hours? Seems so insignificant even to me.

No. Caffeine free drinks are nasty.

Should have been more clear: caffeine free Coke and Diet Coke are gross.

That's called "addiction".

Not even close. Mormons have a very skewed definition of addiction

That's a gross generalization. Many people don't understand addiction

That is a generalization as well.

No t the same line of reasoning. One requores a change. The other doesn't.

But there is no church rule against caffeine. It's just BYU's rule. I can easily pull some

To be fair, it isn't even a rule at BYU. You can drink caffeine all you want.
