How much caffeine

For a while, I've been under the impression that the caffeine ration of soda:tea:coffee is roughly 1:2:4, but what are the actual numbers? Here are a couple of web sites that help answer that.

The first web site basically shows that caffenated sodas are about 25 to 50 mg per 12oz can. Tea is about 50mg per 8 oz, and coffee more than 100mg per 8 oz. There is some variability.

The second web site gives more details, but isn't great for direct comparisons.

thanks. i just didn't have it in me last night to do the calculations. :)

as for the venti, i get a tall or at most a grande. i've never ordered a venti. my eyeballs would be rattling in my head if i did that! i'm not the caffeine junky i used to be. i used to drink soda all day long.

i typically have a cup of coffee in the morning and a cup of tea during the day. sometimes, it's only green tea. on weekends, i splurge and have TWO cups of coffee. once in a great while, i stop at starbucks for a latte or a mocha.
