also some plants have more caffeine than others... and also the processing of the product i.e., tea bags somewhat less than freshly brewed tea leaves

here is what wiki says...

Ooh, nice one.

This is what it said which I thought was interesting as I had no idea:-

Equivalents to 200 mg of caffeine
One caffeine pill (Two in some countries where these are 100 mg)
~2 shots of espresso from robusta beans (2 floz)
~5 shots of espresso from arabica beans (5 floz)
~2 "5 floz containers" of regular coffee (10 floz)
~1.3 L soft drink (these can vary widely in content)
~5 cups (8 floz) of black tea or ~10 cups (8 floz) of green tea
~5 cans of soda (these can vary widely in content)

WOW!  Thanks Jen, I also looked at the link and was shocked about what has more.  I know caffeine is bad but I love my coffee in the morning!!!!  And I never drink soda, but do drink the redbull/vodkas when I go out.  Oh boye.  It sucks when the stuff thats bad for you is what you love most!!!!!!!!!!  :o

my friend started me on vodkas and pineapple... that's some good stuff- sweet but potent if you suck them down too fast!
