Tea has more caffine than Coffee, why is this? we get more of a buzz from coffee, surely i'm wrong. Well i'm not, depends which kind of coffee you drink but this is my theory, Tea desolves alot more than Coffee, which means when you drink it, the caffine goes straigt into your blood stream, whereas coffee doesn't disolve aswell and stays in your stomach for longer which leaves you with a bigger buzz, but has a big let down at the end, tea on the other hand goes straight to the job and is constant throughout your blood stream, so it isn't so much of a shock to your brain.
My theory, have one cup of coffee and then a cup of tea afterwards, then you'll be awake from the first sip to the last cup of hot coco you have when you go to sleep, don't drink too much though it is very bad for your health, but works wonders when your trying to complete levels on games. (not true, but i thought I might aswell add something to do with games or consoles otherwise this would be deleted for being rubbish, now I think of it, it will probably be deleted anyway).

Dr is usually the title for a doctor not a dentist, so maybe he has an evil twin who is your dentist and wanted to give him a hard time.

My dentist who funnily enough is called David (what a stupid name!! Surely he should have a normal name like Ant, Antonio, Antoinette, Antoinetter, Antonioio, Antonioioionio or Antonioioionioioniossssioios or Anthony?!?!) Well anyway, Dr "David" says the more sugar the better!!!

I don't want to go into the scientific info, but tea hasmore caffine, i'm no tea expert but it was on my course, my tutors an adict and aparently doesn't know what happens in the morning until hes had a cup of tea, coffee seems like it has more as it's a sudden burst of mental stimulation, tea keeps you awake for a longer time and spreads the cafine out evenly, or something.

e.g. coffee is the energetic little kid that want's to get out of school as soon as possible, tea is the organised kid that want's to stay in school because he wants a good education. bad example for tea and coffee, but do i care? erm, well, no.

I much prefer tea, especially PG Tips. I dislike coffee, as the taste is not what I would expect from a drink that takes long to make.

(Long?)

Boiling the water. You know what I mean.

(But tea has boiling...)

Shush. Also, I am unsure whether or not it is proper etiqute to put sugar into ones coffee, but I am well imformed on the tea and sugar relationship.

Tea has less caffine than coffee relatively speaking, although it also depends on how long you leave the bag in or the leaves to soak, it does have other useful drugs in it though. Tea contains (among other things) Tanine, which focuses the mind and allows clearer thought, too much of this actually makes your mind work slower, so it counteracts the caffine, but leaving you with a clearer head and a better ability to think. Tea has also been proved to help fight disease.

Anyway, tea does slow down your metabolism, so coffee is generally better for playing games (although it's more messy than a joypad!)
