Also, I like to "dip" coffee grounds. When I'm out in the field and I'm unable to get any caffeine, sometimes I get lucky and score a little Domino coffee packet in an MRE. Sure, you could take that packet and pour it into the "beverage bag" and drink it cold, but I find that sticking the grounds right next to your gum and letting them sink into your system that way is highly effective. Just a thought.
Also in the military. We told a kid about this once and he used the freeze dried packet of coffee instead of the dominos coffee grounds. He was gagging for awhile.
I've got a bad 5 hour energy addiction. I switched too it because it was the lesser of two evils compared to coffee.
All around better nutrition is definitely the best way to stay alert for the longest.
