The heavy-duty dudes down on the gun-line snort it. Skull6, my friend Walter, who was in Vietnam, is convinced that C-RAT coffee was methamphetamine...

LOL! It's a good thing the "powers that be" never decided that caffeine was a drug to test for while I was "in." I would certainly have been sent straight to counselling. & while my intake of that "liquid meth" has reduced some since then, I think I could still be classified as an "abuser" even today.

I found that, as a dismounted-at-times armored scout platoon leader, the caffeine found in a carbonated beverage just didn't quite cut it--even when drank in mass quantities.
