I can down a caffeinated drink just before bed, or binge on them for a week and quit cold turkey without any kind of withdrawal. My wife on the other hand can't drink caffeinated drinks after about 5pm and knowing how she is without her coffee, I'd say she goes through withdrawals. They also don't affect my, uh... schedule. A bottle of water goes through me a lot quicker than a bottle of soda.

It also helps you monitor your level of alertness and of course you don't need to be afraid of the withdrawal symptoms. I had to quit caffeine because of my volunteer work. It had a lot to with the subject at hand.

I always remind my passengers to use the bathrooms before leaving, and if I'm going for more than 2 hours with passengers I try to plan stops at the 2 hour mark just to stretch legs and take care of business if need be.

It was an early start and I deliberately did not drink much, then used the commode just before leaving. Still, despite all my precautions I was bursting by the time we got there, to the point I had to ask the tower to taxi us to the closest relief. He told me they get that all the time.
