Caffeine = Better CS performance?

[free_brd!]

Does caffeine give you an edge while playing CS? I see pros drinking energy drinks once in a while but I never really paid it much attention... your experience with caffeine?

[OsvN]

Nope most only for advertising, drink coffee instead.

So maybe getting caffeine only makes sense if you didn't get enough sleep the last few nights or you felt really drowsy before playing?

It can, assuming you can still feel the effects of it. Just wikipedia the ingredients and you can see. But after all those BYOC's in in early 2000 and crushing cashes of bawls, I bet most gamers don't feel the stimulent effect. Buy a can and try playing. Just like coffee, they are usually consumed just for some increased alertness. Eventually you would build up a tolerance though. Honestly if you don't consume caffeine I don't think anyone would recommend using it regularly. It may boost the average gamers ability shortly, but pros are just genetic monsters who will kick your ass in any game they pick up. Don't take caffeine just for a game. Don't do anything for a game. Dt. Mt dew sure is tasety though, and boy does my bullet reg seem fantastic! Do the Dew!

Yes caffiene will boost your performance in anything that needs concentration and quick reactions, but if consumed regularly you will build a tolerance and need to increase the dosage (cups of coffee or etc) accordingly.

When i have chocolate milk I kick ass for a few rounds. :D

Coffee is only to wake up, you need sugers for fast reflexes. :)

with cafein i'm too nervous and miss too much target. With one beer (or two :3), i calm down myself and has a better focus. Of course it's not all the time.. but sometimes it s pretty cool to play with a fresh beer :3 So Coffee at the morning and beer in the afternoon is cool :3

I play CS after a workout when I'm still affected by my preworkout mix. That stuff gives me crazy fast reaction time.
