I gotta keep away from that stuff. One drink and the whole case is
gone.

My son-in-law likes it, Cat knows why. Although he's recently
switched to root beer.

I've known him the better part of twenty years, and I've never
known him to get sleepy from MD. Nor from root beer. He also
drinks tea, which does contain caffeine (well, theine, but it's
essentially the same).

You do know that MD contains more caffeine than most soft drinks, don't you?

That was the point of Ted's comment, since most root beer does not. On
the other hand. . . .

.. . .Barq's root beer (which used that advertising catch-phrase widely a
while back) famously does.

Well, I've tasted Barq's (not recently, it contains sugar), and I
remember it was very good, but I wouldn't say it bit.

No, I didn't. You learn something new every day.

It certainly has some, but isn't *that* strong, unless you drink a lot.

Handy chart here.
https://www.caffeineinformer.com/the-caffeine-database

6.5 oz of Mountain Dew: 54 mg caffeine. Note that a standard drink can is
12 oz, so about 100mg/can.

Compare to 15 oz of Dunkin Donuts brewed coffee (a 'medium') at 210 mg.

I often have a medium DD with an extra shot of espresso - around 290 mg.
