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. ;)

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.

That's the trick - and a PITA for me at least since I *love* to eat :)

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?
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! :)

Oh I wasn't referring to the scotch - I was referring to the coffee! :)

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

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

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.

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.

Alot of you guys are caffine maniacs. NASA should buy a few of you guys, drain your blood and use it as fuel for the space shuttle :)

Sorry, what is confusing? I answered the question on how many cups of coffee I drink. The answer is zero. I don't drink coffee.

I start at 7:30 (and I like it because I get to go home at 4pm) and I only drink coffee as a last resort when all else fails. Just go to sleep no later than 10-11pm and you will be fine next morning. If you still have trouble waking up just rinse your face with ice cold water - works every time.

Errr, we drink caffeine, not hydrazine ... :omg: At least I hope no one does!

Hmmmph... Heck of a question on a Monday... Lemme see, I start with a pot to get my heart started and my brain functioning well enough to find the shower. Once I get to work I fill up my 14oz mug and attempt to locate my desk under all the phone messages and notes from last week. During the day I refill the mug 9 to 12 times, depending on the number of meetings scheduled for the day. In between coffees, and especially if I'm in the field at 120°F, I guzzle water throughout the day and evening. By 9PM I'm ready for a scotch or three, with a pitcher of beer or two for a nightcap. I doubt there's much caffeine in those last items, so I fall fast asleep without difficulty.:-D Don't worry; as you gain experience your caffeine tolerance, along with bladder capacity, will grow. It has to, because the winner in any meeting is the one with the highest caffeine resistance and bladder capacity. Being the last one to have to leave the room gives you a real bargaining chip.

I drank almost as much tea each day, 3 liters to be exact. :)

Ever since I gave up drugs and alcohol about 6 years ago I have been consuming on average about 60 oz. of Starbucks a day, everyday. With that said, I have just started weaning myself off of coffee and going to tea or just water. I agree with getting plenty of sleep. My day starts at 8 am and I am in bed by 10 pm, all the time. If you are going to drink alcohol, then do it on the weekend but never during the week.

sounds like a normal day to me... 7:15am, sometimes 7am. The hardest part is changing shifts. Eventually, most people will adjust to any given shift start given a reasonable length, and no abuse of that with less sleep.... The hardest part is going from 7:15am, leaving early in order to be back at 1am on following morning, working late processing data (say 16 hour day), and expecting to be back at 7:15 the next following day. :)
