I am a big chocolate milk fan. But I don't get the same feeling. In fact I usually feel the need to get up and eat after drinking water/juice/milk though.

I don't think so, well not conciously anyway. I don't drink often. Perhaps I'll get a bottle of gin once ever 2-3 months. I've just noticed my personal projects would get a boost during the wet season.

Didn't think of that. When I was a kid people did think I have some form of behavioral problems, but when I got into programming from an early age then it all disappeared so I don't think it's ADD.

But thanks for the timing advice. I'll have to try that.

Like I said to @barking I don't think I'm an alchoholic. But I will keep this in check. Thanks.

Not at all. During work hours I'm pretty focused and don't do any talking or surfing. Plus I've never even drank coffee so I don't think it can be the jitters.

lol.

I've experimented with this. 1 shot of gin is nothing. 2 shots and I'm still normal. 5 and I feel like sleeping. Yet 3 seems to increase performance?

That's quite sad.

I remember a while back somebody posting on blogs.perl about how bad it was there. We all talked about it at a Perl Mongers meeting a while back. People (smart people) were thinking of applying and moving countries but that post really convinced people to stay.

I've also seen it posted on LinkedIn a number of times (from needing 40 people to 25 people), but since it looks like they are having trouble finding good Perl people then the OP's post kind of explains it.

The Perl world is quiet small where everyone knows everyone (literally). Treat people this way and word gets around. IOW, karma's a bitch.

Edit: I just re-read the date on OP's post. It's actually the same post I cited.
