to coffee?

According to official stats (yes, they exist), the average US coffee drinker goes through 3.1 cups per day. What about you?

Shit, I drink way too much coffee everyday. I think if caffine were discovered today and it came in a white powder form, it would be outlawed for sure.

Well, we already know that HA members are not entirely representative of the general community. Maybe it's got something to do with the coffee?

I never liked coffee. Plus I haven't had caffeine in about 6 years. My dad didn't start drinking coffee until his mid 30's though

Never had coffee, the smell is off putting to me. I pretty much just drink water and occasionally tea or juice.

I've never been much of a coffee drinker,I do however love caffeine and drink Diet Coke in it's place.On the very few occasions that I drink coffee I drink it black.

I used to drink a LOT of coffee. Several pots a day back in highschool, back then I would also throw in a lot of instant hot chocolate mix, some caramel, sugar, creamer/milk, cinnamon, season salt, salt, and brown sugar. Then one day I realized that if I make the pot sit on the machine, under heat over night... and drank it black (nothing added), it would be STRONGER. I've rarely added anything to my coffee since.

One time one of my friends made the mistake of getting me a case of capacino instant mixes, was something like 5 packets (each could make 2 cups), 25 different flavors. It was gone before the weekend was over if I recall right. I was putting several of the packets in 1 cup, instead of diluting them to the recommended amounts.

The funny thing is I've never been able to stand energy drinks. Red bull, monster, etc- does nothing but invoke my rarely seen gag reflex. I actually threw up after trying monster the first time, quite possibly the most disgusting substance I've ever had in my mouth (and if anyone here knows my cooking, that says a lot!).

But now there are weeks I don't drink coffee, I've moved on to caffeine pills, caffeinated soda, and excederine. Hmm, maybe this is why I am an insomniac.

I only drink about two or three cups a week. I'm really more of a tea drinker, 7 or 8 cups every day.

Probably 8-10 a day during the week, a couple more at weekends. :shock:
Last weekend just for a change, I was drinking Green Tea while working on a project and got through 3 pots. I'm trying to wean myself off coffee and drink green tea. 8)

I'm about 7 cups a day: one when I get up; one when I reach the office; one mid-morning; one for lunch; one mid-afternoon; one when I get home and one after dinner.

Giving up smoking was easy, I can manage without alcohol no problem, never been into drugs but I couldn't last 2 days without coffee - my real drug!

ick! I used to drink entire pots of coffee over the course of a work day and feel soooooo sick :(
I finally had a few days off in a row and kicked the stuff for good

Check out my name, total freaking coffee addict.
It's 7-53am and am on my fourth mug already.
Really ought to cut down.
I don't do alohol very much though, none at all this year so far, may change on my birthday on Thursday though, except can't deal with feeling rough for 3 days afterwards, so swings and roundabouts
