The bigger mugs that are used for coffee are about 11 oz. to 22 oz. The amount of caffeine in one mug would equal 300 mg to 600 mg.” According to many researchers, unless taken in abun dant amounts, caffeine cannot cause an addin: Nikki Roths, a sophomore business major, alized she was drinking too many soil cirinksait ed to quit. “I would always joke around with my friends: a caffeine addict,” Roths said. “1 don't start mydf a Coke, but I have to have one during the day: least two to three Cokes a day, and whenever!, have to order a Coke.” Roths said she recently noticed this overcons of soft drinks. “I noticed this summer that I wasdrinkin: Coke,” Roths said. “I had two in the morning lunch, one when I got home and one for din: not healthy.

It’s a big turnoff for girls.” The desire to have something to do with his mouth and hands has outweighed the desire for nicotine each time, Bartlett said. “I’m not really addicted to nico tine,” Bartlett said. “I’ve never had problems when I don’t smoke. I’ve never gotten sick over it. It’s the habit. It has nothing to do with my head. It’s social. I don’t smoke by myself.” Bids farewell to college station THE FINAL SHOW Wednesday -one night only!
