The Wizards Ban Butler's Mt. Dew Habit

Caron Butler, who plays for the Washington Wizards, used to be a heavy Mountain Dew drinker. But no longer! The Wizards laid down the law, banning him from drinking Mountain Dew.

How did Caron feel about the ban?

"I'm still upset but I know it is for my own good. The main reason is to get you off drinking soda during the course of the season. Obviously, it is just not good for you as an athlete."

How much Mountain Dew did he used to drink?!

How I got off Mt. Dew and Survived the Caffeine Withdrawal

Mt. Dew! How I love you... You just make everything better. Work becomes tolerable, people become endurable. Then I try to leave you! You are like the girlfriend on the day after... a massive headache.

Honestly though, after realizing that I was drinking 4-6 Mt. Dew's a day I decided I was time to drop this annoying caffeine addiction. Now, 4-6 Mt. Dews a day may not be much but some people's standards, but it was enough to give me major headaches if I skipped a day.
