Asking for a friend who is 6 feet with washboard abs

I had one cup of Keurig pod coffee this morning on the way to work. Since in my office, I've had 2 cups of 4 shot vanilla lattes.

Does that equate to 9 cups of coffee prior to lunch time?

I consume probably 300-400 milligrams a day, depending on if I'm drinking just coffee or if I add in an energy drink. I don't think it's hurt me yet.

I usually have 20-32oz of unsweet tea with lunch. Maybe another tea in the evening but not often.

Very rarely I'll have half an Americano.

however much is in a cup of chai tea latte and sometimes a small can of soda

I'm not a coffee drinker

2 cups of coffee a day when I work from home.
4 cups a day when I'm at the office.
Black.

Yeah, those are maintenance levels to keep headaches away.

10-12 cups per day most days.

1000mg? Starter kit in my book.

We had a network guy/programmer that drove an hour to the last place I worked. He would drink a pot of coffee before he left the house and have a travel mug full on the drive.

He would then hit the office coffee pot when he got to work.

He worked a flex schedule of sorts so I was at work over an hour before him every day.

One morning I had a problem with a program we used and I needed him to look into it as soon as he arrived. However, one of the CADD operators had cracked the coffee pot that morning and had to throw it away.

When network dude arrived, I said "Hey, can you check the MDL programming on the pipeline import software? It's not working."

Him: "sure, let me get some coffee first"

Me: "Joseph cracked the pot. There is no coffee"

Him: "I'm doing a damned thing until I get coffee"

Me: "I'll go get some and come back. You'll probably have this knocked out before I get back."

Him: "**** your problems. I'm not doing anything until I get coffee"

He was not kidding.

Across the street was a nice Mexican restaurant. I had smelled fajitas cooking when I got to work. There were there early working on a catering order.

I walked over, walked inside, saw the manager, and said "Hey Tony, our coffee pot broke and my IT guy won't help me until he gets coffee. Could I get a cup?"

Tony: "No problem!"

Took the large cup of Java back to the office and my problem was solved quickly.

When I first really started drinking coffee I drank so much I couldn't talk right for an hour or so. My lips and my brain just couldn't get the timing down. I don't recall how many cups I drank, but I definitely found my limit.

A couple years ago I was walking to my office and I could feel my heart skip a beat, and it was doing it a bunch. Really freaked me out. Cardiologist did the full work up on me and didn't find much. Turns out I was drinking way too much coffee. I was going thru a pitcher of cold brew every day and having a Diet Coke as well. Now I only have 1 cup of real coffee and then a cup or 2 of decaf.

This is about where I'm at... Not counting the nose candy, of course.

my grandfather lived to 92, served in the Navy during WW2, had his leg amputated at 35 due to a tumor in his knee, I think I only ever saw him drink two beverages - coffee and booze. Coffee non stop all day, martini at 4pm with grandma, and a beer with dinner, coffee after dinner.

It depends upon how woke you are.

Caffeine is like any other drug.
- You build a tolerance for it.
- You start to depend on it.
- The right amount makes you feel good.
- You'll eventually need more of it for the same feeling.
- When you don't have it, you'll feel bad.
- Too much of it makes you feel bad, then really bad.

The big differece is that the amount you need to consume to shorten you life is probably more than most people can realistically consume. Also, there are supposedly some health benefits to the liver and brain.

I also like seeing caffeine replace something like alcohol or tobacco.

I read recently that the regular amount someone should have daily is 400 mg. That's about 4 cups of coffee or 7-8 soft drinks.

I'm a big fan of caffeine.

If your heart is racing, that's too much.

I work at home and have a Keurig. I do one cup every morning, sometimes another in the afternoon.

Sometimes I'll sub a black tea in the afternoon.

Some days I'll skip the afternoon cup altogether.

Probably average 1.6 cups a day.

I only drink coffee when I'm sitting down (at work, driving, etc.) to help me focus.

On weekends I don't drink any coffee as I'm always up and running around.

My post was a little harsh. I don't think caffeine is nearly as addictive as hard drugs and nicotine. Not even the same ballpark, and there are some serious health benefits to it in moderation. I really am a proud coffee drinker, seven days a week.

I don't need it, it just helps me get through the day. I can stop any time.

I used to drink 12 to 15 cups of coffee every day on fishing boats.

Other guys drank 1 or 2 cups but made up the difference with cocaine.

Some of yall are addicted.
I have 0mg caffeine each and every day for the better part of 2 decades as an adult at this point, and I feel great. You should try it.

I'm mid 40s.. drank a little bit in first couple of working early/mid 20s, but have had maybe 5 cups of coffee (usually with kahlua at holidays) in 20 years.
Have two boys 10/11 who pretty much have daily commitments most of the year. I don't know what it is that drives people to start drinking it early in their career, considering you're young 20s and likely as energetic/active as you're ever gonna be.

Ive been meaning to start a coffee thread in food. I do 4 or 5 scoops of Turkish ground coffee, French press, and use boiling water. While I have no idea the caffeine content its gotta be very high

Also work from home.

16 oz of coffee in the morning after breakfast
16 oz in the afternoon when I start to lag.

Gave up soft drinks 27 years ago, so think I'm still on the downside of the average American for caffeine intake.

When I was a fish, there was a guy in a different outfit in our dorm who was studying really late for an exam and took a bunch of no-doze and drank a bunch of monster energy drinks. At some point after he tried to go to sleep, he started seizing from a caffeine overdose, fell out of his rack, and that's how the pissheads found him when they went in to air him out. "Oh ****, sir!" and, "I need a white belt!" have rarely been stated with such earnest. They called an ambulance, and he was back a day or two later. He said he legitimately thought he was going to die on the floor until they came in.
