Iced tea unsweetened.
Starbucks iced coffee heavy cream no sweetener when I have gift cards.
Dutch bros (the annihilator is awesome).

I drink coffee of various types from various suppliers. I'll drink Mountain Dew if that's all that's available. I avoid the energy drinks (like Rockstar, Monster, etc) like the plague.

Monsters and coffee. I probably drink enough caffeine during the day to kill a small animal.

I don't like energy drinks and I don't like coffee. Not a big tea person so... I don't do much in the caffeine arena.

Be very careful with those. Just have to say that.

That's what's great about them is that you can be careful. You know exactly what you're getting, so it's easy to "titrate" your mental status.

You can also keep a close eye on your tolerance. For instance, I know that if I don't use caffeine for a week, I will get a really strong kick that will last ~6 hours from just 100mg (about the same as 8oz of coffee). On the other hand, if I'm using caffeine every day, the diminishing returns become obvious very quickly (need 200mg to feel the same way 100mg made you feel yesterday, etc). One might not notice changes like this if their MO is just "I'm tired, time to drink a coffee".
