Caffine Consumption
-
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?
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. :)

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!!!

We're going to have to talk about where you get this stuff. That is me all over. :)

Not so much that I can't spell 'caffeine'. ;P

For the curious The Caffeine Database[^] lists caffeine amounts. It's interesting to see that a 44ml espresso has 77mg caffeine, whereas a 237ml drip coffee has 145g caffeine. So I should actually be having doppio's instead of single shots in order to keep up with a standard cup of "coffee" (and I use the term loosely) that's served here.

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.

[trying to be funny] Maybe there is a subtle difference between drinking zero cup of coffee and don't drink coffee at all, just like the difference between "I caught zero fish" and "I did not go fishing at all". ;P [/trying to be funny]

I drink about 6 cups a day with a big 24 oz cup :-D After lunch or so, switch to Dr. Pepper :)

I didn't really care for it, but it wakes me up. I have had 3 cups, and my heart is racing, and I'm starting to sweat. :omg:

the only coffee that ive had was in Europe, and that was my first cup at the ripe old age of 22. it was ok, but ive seen too many people slaves to morning coffee, so im avoiding it at all costs.

Cool link, Chris. I didn't know Diet Coke has more caffeine than Dr. Pepper. Mtn. Dew is pretty loaded :rolleyes: Sounds like Powershot is the ticket if one doesn't want to sleep for two or three days :laugh:

My all-time favorite wasn't listed.... Mourning Thunder Tea. Black Tea and Matte to match coffee... of course I brewed it double and triple strength through college.... :)

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.

About six, but I make it weak, with lots of sugar. And I don't make it until I get to the office.

0. I've never liked coffee. I used to drink exorbitant amounts of Mountain Dew (lots of caffeine there), but I've since given that up. So, no caffeine in the morning for me no matter how early. Now if you'll pardon me, I'm going to take a nap on my desk. ;)

I find myself resigned to dirnking coffe to stay alert in the morning. Mountain Dew does nothing for me other than give me a 3.47 sec. sugar rush.;P

At the most - two cups in the morning. I go for a run at lunch so I'm pretty good on the caffine.

I used to take a glass of coffee in the morning while going through the Newspaper and then after returning home from office another cup of coffee in home. In the meantime during the office hours at the max i used to take only tea twice ie., by 11 am in the morning and by 4 pm in the evening. so the maximum of 2 coffee and two tea for me per day. And in the weekend also i used to take coffee while i am in residence. Durin summer i will avoid coffee insted i will take tea or some soft drinks like fresh fruit juices and also the pepsi, coke and other juices.
