    I have recently began my first job as CE 6.0 R&D, and development for such system. We start at 7:00 AM, which is much earlier than I am used to getting up. So, as others in the office have suggested, I have began making use of the never never ending amount of coffee here. I have drank about 3 cups of coffee, at about 12 ounces a cup. How much coffee do the CPians drink on a given day?

      I'm not bashful on this subject. I have Central Sleep Apnea so I don't get the best sleep. I usually wake up feeling like I've got a wad of cotton lodged in my brain that's slowing everything down. I have 300 Mg's of caffeine using a product called SPARK by Advocare that I buy off Ebay. I have it once a day and that's it. It's been a faithful friend since 2004 and my sleep apnea physician said it's a better choice than the medication she could prescribe for $11 a pill that I'd pay for out of pocket. She thinks caffeine is just fine so long as it works. Nice!!!

        3-4 cups of lattes made from my own roasted decaf espresso beans. So the equivalent caffeine of about 1 normal cup of coffee spread throughout the day. I used to be a hard core caffeine drinker but it's really just a vicious cycle that doesn't in the end give you any more alertness. You become dependant on it and the drop off in alertness when it wears our forces you to have another to the point that you are stuck on a cycle of *having* to drink it. Getting lot's of sleep and excercise and eating small portions regularly throughout the day is far more useful for being alert (and calm) throughout the day.

          Yeah, I'm definately not calm at this point. I feel more amped up than I do after running a mile.

                Zero cups of coffee (I can't stand the stuff). Of other caffeinated drinks I drink the equivalent of a half cup per day.

                  Yeah, but there's a big difference between "a scotch or three" and a cup... If I could drink scotch by the cupful, I'd berate myself too. ;)

                      Everyone that knows me considers me a caffeine addict. I never turn down the opportunity and always have a cup nearby. The morning is certainly the highest consumption period, but that 3:00-4:00 pm lull also cries out for a pick-me-up -- along with some carbs to get the blood sugar up. When I work at home in the evening I need a cup nearby for psychological purposes only. But... I can quit any time I want! :)

                            1 10 ounce cup with breakfast 2 to 3 10 ounce cups before lunch 2 to 3 10 ounce cups after lunch 1 10 ounce cup after supper So... anywhere from 6 to 8 cups per day; in the morning, it is generally regular, in the afternoon, whatever is available regular or decaf. On the weekend, usually about 6 per day - all regular It has not affected my sleep in the last 20 years; if it does, I will switch to decaf at night. Tim

                                  None. I have 1-2 cups of tea per day. I don't know how that measures in cups of coffee, but I think it's less than one. After that, it's decaf tea (if I'm desperate enough to stand it ;-).

                                    I have problems going in the morning until I've had my morning transfusion (one or two cans of Diet Mt. Dew -- diabetic, can't drink normal Dew). Then I have a steady supply of Diet Pepsi through the day. Otherwise, there's too much blood in my caffeine system and I start bogging down... Don't drink much coffee. Maybe one or two cups a month.

                                      I have recently began my first job as CE 6.0 R&D, and development for such system. We start at 7:00 AM, which is much earlier than I am used to getting up. So, as others in the office have suggested, I have began making use of the never never ending amount of coffee here. I have drank about 3 cups of coffee, at about 12 ounces a cup. How much coffee do the CPians drink on a given day?

                                      3 small cups of coffee and about 3-4 liters of water. I can't stand much coffee anymore.

                                        In the summer I don't drink coffee due to how warm they keep it in my building. I will take Vivrin (Caffine pills), soft drinks, Tea. I usually have the equivilent of about 10 cups a day. I'm glad I've cut down on my caffine consumption in the past couple of years. :laugh: Joe Q

                                          I occasionally get an iced coffee but due to my lactose intolerance, it's not often. I hate hot coffee. I used to drink lots of diet coke, but I'm down to about one 20-ounce bottle a day. A little more on the weekends.
