So many people talk about caffeine and specific drinks. They say stuff like Monster has 3x what coffee has. Etc. All you have to do is read labels.
Caffeine content for MANY common drinks is available here.
Some highlights:
Brewed (drip) coffee (8 oz) - 145 mg
Red Bull (8.3 oz) - 80 mg
Monster (16 oz) - 160 mg
Espresso (1.5 oz) - 77 mg
Coke classic (12 oz) - 34.5 mg
Rockstar (16 oz) - 160 mg
I'm with Chaos by the way. Coffee is an essential part of my daily happiness. Perhaps because of that caffeine has little ability to energize me before racing.
