(joking voice) you... put a shot of coffee into your diet coke? what Midwestern depravity is this???
I don't think we can blame the Midwest for this one...
I don't really drink coffee; for a long time I couldn't, because the caffeine would cause inflammation that would give me sinus headaches. I had a procedure done to widen my sinus passages that stopped the headaches, but I had never developed a taste for coffee and I'm a morning person so never really needed it. I'm still sensitive enough that a little caffeine goes a very long way.
In the last year at my old job, however, I was starting to get really stressed in the mornings which impacted my work, and I found caffeine would help (as many people with ADHD do before they get a diagnosis). I usually had a Diet Coke in the morning, and I knew I could tolerate sweetened coffee, so I thought, well, let's try it out. And it's pretty palatable, especially once you get the ratios right. So I'd get into the office early, start the coffee percolating, and pour off the first six or eight ounces into a mug with my Diet Coke (always pour in the Diet Coke first -- the coffee does dreadful things to the foam otherwise). That'd kick me into high gear for the day and sustain me until lunch, usually.
I don't bother anymore unless I've had a really bad night of sleep or on the increasingly rare occasions I've been hung over; the Adderall handles the stress just fine and there's less stress anyway now that I'm a) working from home and b) not working an abusive job.
I've been told this is called a "red eye" but that also refers to a regular coffee with a shot of espresso; I've also seen "Americola" referenced. But I find that I get the best candid reactions if I just say "Oh yeah, that's my diet coke with a shot of coffee." :D

Got bored, then curious. My favorite of all time is apple juice but the brand varies in terms of quality. I need to do a tier list one day...smoothies you get at gas stations are good too, especially mango flavored.
