How many cups of coffee do you drink a day?

[polak]

The idea of drinking a coke in the morning makes me sick.

Anything carbonated of that matter.

I usually have either a cup of coffee or a latte once a day. Very rarely will I have more than one, but let's say once a week it does happen. So 7-9 cups of coffee or latte drinks a week.

Throw in a few soft drinks a week and I'm sufficiently addicted to caffeine. It started out slow, and I used to be able to go without it with no side effects.

Now, if I don't have a cup of coffee in the morning I'm irritable. If I go more than 36 hours I get pretty intense headaches that don't subside for another 36 hours and I need a few naps.

It makes me function a lot better; I hate the feeling of being addicted to it, but I know I am. At the rate I drink it I don't think it's detrimental to my health, so stopping doesn't seem reasonable to me. If I start to get up to 2-3 cups a day maybe I'll re-assess my position.

None, likely allergic. I would shake and sweat if I had a cup of coffee.

I have a keurig at home, my girlfriend gets a lot more use out of it than I do though. Ill have maybe one or two a week, usually on weekend mornings to help with a hamgover

Holy #### man, you're cool.

I drink, on average just under 1 coffee a day.

I was at the point where I was pounding back 7 or 8 big cups a day. Then my heart beat went all wonky. Gave it up cold turkey, and have a couple cups of tea a day instead, and man do I feel better.

Every time I am at our coffee machine getting my hot water now I cannot resist saying in a bad Patrick Stewart accent "Tea, Earl grey, Hot."

I drink about 2 cups, sometimes 3. Lately more like 3. One in the morning, one in the afternoon and sometimes another if I'm really tired.

I'm addicted to it, but I love it too much to try to quit.

I drink tea, Tetley. It varies between two to five cups a day.

Looks like anything more than 3 to 4 Cups a day could be unhealthy.

I used to be a 2-3 cans (minimum) Diet Pepsi/Pepsi Max guy, but have been off it since I finished school last year, it was really starting to wreck my teeth.

Now, I have some iced herbal or green tea daily. Depending on the type, it is about equiv caffeine to about 1/4 to 1/2 a cup of coffee by my totally uneducated estimate. When I am at work but didn't have time to put something together in the morning I have some Arizona Iced Tea packets that I use.

Only had 3 cups today and now I'm gonna hit the gym.. Hello pre workout !

[Sinny Darino]

1 espresso shot in the morning (made into a half a cup or so)

XL Timmies -or- 3-4 cups of the disugsting swill from our work machine.

Can of Mountain Dew for lunch

2 more cups of the disgusting swill from our work machine.

Yeah... I am addicted

Caffeine does help with the dullness and lack of energy after 3PM till quitting time. I started drinking coffee because of that and now I'm doing the same thing at 9:30 in the morning to get a boost till dinner.

The health benefits of a cup or two per day are worth it.

[Robotic]

Never enjoyed the taste of coffee. I can't even eat chocolates that tastes like coffee.

One cup in the morning and one early afternoon. If I don't get both I start going into withdrawal and getting headaches. I try not to drink more than that so my dependency doesn't get any worse than it already is.

I love coffee so much, but had to give it up. It makes me poop. Every now and again I'll treat myself to an Americano on the weekend.

[Regulator75]

At least one 20oz coffee, sometimes two.

[J pold]

Back in my investment banking days working 100 hour work weeks it was bad. I probably averaged around six to eight large cups a day. Now that I am back to normal hours I have one and a half cups first thing in the morning. I take my time to grind the whole beans and use a French press to brew, my morning isn’t complete without it.

Hate to tell you this but pooping is a good thing.

Squirting out double-shots of liquid hot magma is not a good thing.
