I have to start getting up at 6 in the morning when skool starts and I feel horrible and tiered during the day. I hate energy drinks and the taste of reg coffee. Does flavored (vanilla, chocolate) coffee have the same amount of caffeine as regular coffee?

Sure does……..however, brewed tea has more caffeine in it than an equal amount of coffee.

Flavored coffee is made the same way as regular coffee with artificial flavorings added. So yes, same amount of caffeine or even higher. Coffee is unusual in that cheap, nasty robusta coffee has more caffeine than good arabica coffee, so it’s conceivable that a company using cheap, nasty blends for flavored coffees and relying on the flavorings to compensate would produce flavored coffees with more caffeine than the normal version.
To clarify the first person’s answer, tea leaves, ounce for ounce, have much more caffeine than coffee beans. And if you brewed tea using 10 grams of ground-up leaves per cup and let it sit five minutes, you’d get more caffeine in your cup of tea too. However, if you brewed tea with standard coffee measures like that you’d get an undrinkable concoction; tea is meant to be brewed at 1/5 that strength, 2g leaves per cup, and so the actual amount of caffeine in the cup of tea you drink is less than a cup of coffee. (There is cosmic balance; it’s easy to get 8-12 pleasant cups of tea out of an amount that would only make 1 cup of coffee, and those 8 cups would get you more buzzed if you drank them all at once.)
