Caffeine is a wander drug, it helps me relax, It calms me down when I'm in a bad mood, and it make me feel good. With out caffeine I can not sleep at all (I tried to stop drinking sodas and went three weeks with out sleep because of it.), I can not think clearly, I will be annoyed by anything, and I may start to get a little shaky. I would like an easy way to get more caffeine in me with out drinking lots of sodas, But I do not want to take a pill for it. I all ready take lots a pills every day, and want people to think I'm a drug addict or anything. The people that know me all ready call me "dope fiend", and I don't need any more of that.
I know of other things, that I can buy from people at school, that have the same effect as the levels of caffeine I'm going for, but I don't really want to mess with all that.

I am talking about the amount in about 6 to 12 sodas an hour.

I did not ask how to make my self stop using caffeine, I asked how to get a lot more caffeine in me. And I'm not going to stop, I would feel horrible if I did. And I'm not a drug addict.

I drink the Rockstar energy drink, slowly over a few hours while I am at work. It is very effective. Otherwise, drink coffee. I have also used generic brand caffeine pills. One pill is equal to 2 cups of coffee.

Espresso.
Look at this table of energy drinks. Espresso beats practically all of them. And, espresso is cheaper.
Not a lot of Americans are familiar with what espresso is,
because we're so used to drinking coffee. Espresso is just like coffee, but stronger. In fact, if you were in Italy (they love coffee there) and wanted to order what we call a "coffee", they would take some espresso and add a good amount of water to it.
You can make it at home, on your stove-top with an inexpensive gadget, called a "moka pot".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moka_pot
All you need is coffee, water, and the moka pot. It makes a batch in a few minutes. If you plan on buying one, I heard the 6-cup model is a better size than the 3-cup, since us Americans are so used to bigger quantities. They are for sale on Amazon. If you have a kitchen store around, they probably have one there too, for about $15. Freshly ground coffee tastes better, so if you want, you can buy your own grinder to grind your own beans.
Making a good pot of coffee can seem like a ritual, but since you'll probably be doing it a lot, I don't think you'll have any trouble learning how. You can always just buy a drip coffee-maker if you don't like the moka pot idea. And if you're worried you won't like the taste... don't worry... if you like caffeine it will be impossible. And you can always add flavored creamers and or sugar for added tastiness.
p.s. You could always get a prescription for something that would do nearly the same things that you want (thinking clearer, relax, etc.) And you'd only need to take it once or twice a day. Attention deficet drugs work basically the same way caffeine does to stimulate.

Caffiene is a socially acceptable drug, but you are going for a speedlike affect. How old are you? Why don't you let your doctor know you are in need of a tremendous boost and maybe you can manage your diet with foods that will also "jolt" you. In the meantime,
I go with expresso. Two shots with creme and sugar at the dunkin donuts and I am like "zing" eyes wide open.
Ps they called me a dope fiend too, and I am not. I understand fatigue and the need to Have you tried Jolt Cola? Vivarin?
Biphetamine? Be very careful, my friend. Peace.

By very definition, your addiction to caffeine makes you a drug addict.
Maybe you should examine why people accuse you of being a dope fiend.
Otherwise, drink espresso.

The typical 12 ounce soda contains 50mg. of caffeine,where as most drip-brewed coffee has 100mg. in each 6 ounce serving.Do the math.

Try Jolt gum. It says it has as much caffeine as a cup of coffee.

Coffee's much higher (almost twice as much) in caffeine per volume as soft drinks.
