Too much caffeine can make you anxious, jittery, and put you in a bad mood! Also, once you get addicted you might get headaches and nausea if you don't get your caffeine fix.
Some alternatives to try:
* If you make coffee at home, mix 1/2 decaf and 1/2 regular, then gradually move to all decaf
* Instead of caffeinated drinks, look for 100% Juice or Iced Herbal Teas with no sugar added
