    Does not sound too healthy, I eat mostly a diet of beans, sandwiches, while going to the Gym to do weight lifting...so yeah, Lol (no pun intended). Even though I try to limit how much caffeine I take in to my system and how I make it (I add so much coffee grounds, the coffee tastes like dirt, even after a few creamers and/or 10 tablespoons of table sugar), since it can make me dizzy, really tired, go to the rest room a lot, overly sweat, makes me jittery, you get the picture.

      Is there anybody who just craves or is "addicted to coffee" as a software developer, computer/system programmer or just plain "programmer." For instance, you may pause a project briefly just to brew and sip a cup of Joe. Like you cannot live or cannot survive a day without thinking about having a craving of this drug?

      I will paraphrase my doctor with whom I check-in every year or so. I drink a LOT of coffee, but he says that if it's not causing me problems (stomach, sleep, etc.) I can pretty much have as much as I want. It's sugary drinks that are a problem. (I happen to have stopped adding sugar a couple of years ago, and I don't drink sugary drinks.) It's soda that's the real killer, and this includes fruit juices, bottled teas, energy drinks, etc. which are ALL sugar (and it's doesn't matter where that sugar comes from - cane, corn, etc...) Coffee: Good Mt. Dew: Bad Just my personal soapbox....

        Less than two hours into the day and I am on my fourth mug. Reading news and drinking coffee has become the routine.

          Hah! I was a hardcore Dew drinker for over 20 years until about 8 months ago. Now, if I can just kick the cigs! :sigh:

              Coffee? (Fiendishly Explodes with Diabolical Laughter) No no... you wanna try some C4 Extreme Pre-Workout drink mix from Cellucor! Man... talk about BEAST-MODE! You can literally feel your skin tingle when that stuff initially uptakes into your system, and I'd swear a voltage spike of AWESOME simultaneously occurs in all your Neural synapsis. But I digress... that's (usually) only on days where I know I'm gonna workout that night. Personally what I kinda enjoy is the whole ritual thing of popping-in that morning K-Cup of SBUX Blonde into the KEURIG machine. Used to like doing the Espresso maker every morning... and that way does come out stronger... but the wifey scored a KEURIG machine via "corporate wellness points" and using the K-Cups are just soo darned easy and mess-free!

                I was addicted to coffee, now I take pills instead. Same thing, just without the laxative effect. I take 100 mg when I wake up and another 100 mg around lunch time. Sometimes I take another 100 mg if I go to the gym or a party after work or planning to work on a side project at home... My levels of adenosine are pretty high and without caffeine I'm just slow and sleepy, which can be even dangerous, for example while driving. I will get a nice capsule filling machine some day to make my own capsules - pure caffeine is sold on Amazon and it's dirt cheap.

                    The watermelon flavor! Yes! It's actually soo tasty too! Yeah I had both together end of February when I went DirtBike riding at the Desert. Hadn't gone in over 5 yrs since my boy was born, and I'm ridin' a KX500... so yeah... I needed the boost.
