Coffee buzz...

How many CPians out there are addicted to coffee? I don't mean "Well, I do drink a lot", I mean "I drink the equivalent of twelve normal people, and you had better not cross me before my first cup". Myself, for example: (and this really isn't an exaggeration) I wake up and have the remainder of the coffee I was drinking the night before, if I haven't used it as an ashtray. Then I get ready for work, and run to the 7-11 right down the street and grab a large coffee, unless my buddy is working the counter, in which case I grab the 48-oz Uber-large soda size and fill that up with coffee. I get into the office (usually one of the first ones in), and start the pot brewing. Over the next eight hours, I will drink roughly (depending on how the day goes) 24 10-oz. cups of coffee. Then I go home. I take a break from coffee and start drinking Coca-Colas. I'll probably go through a six-pack a night. And I wonder why I can't sleep at night.... Jeremy Kimball Oh, forgot to add that two of my more common evening/night-based activities involve large amounts of coffee (Camping at Barnes and Nobles or Borders, and hanging out with friends at all-night diners)

I used to drink about 15 or 20 10-oz cups of coffee daily and 5 or 6 bottles of Pepsi, but I switched to decaf a few years ago. Now I drink decaf only on weekends, no Pepsi, and a lot more milk and water. I sleep much better now.

I hope that you have money because it’s necessary to be practical. And I hope that at least once a year you put some money in front of you and say "you are mine" just to make clear who owns who. - Victor Hugo

I've become oversensitive to caffeine. I used to drink buckets of it, but now I get way too worked up. Two cups and I can't sleep. Three and people will start to suspect I'm putting something stronger in the coffee. -- Im hayu samim et hamo'ach shelcha betoch tsipor, hi hayta matchila la'uf achora!

ME! usually a Starbucks Venti Drip with a little-bit of room, six equals and half-and-half is good enough(used for coding purposes only). Diet Coke with lemon or vanilla is good enough for me at work anywhere from 2 to 5 a day :jig::jig::jig: and at least one cup of crappy coffee that they brew here X| :-D Later,

Well I'm not "addicted" per se but I am a coffee nut. I drink three cups each day - all in the afternoon when I get off. I use Blue Mountain beans and a coffee press and the taste is just amazing. Can't drink regular stuff at all - to acid for my taste. I sometimes add a big shot of Baileys to my last cup of the evening. Gives one something to look forward to. Rest of the day I drink water.

Well it's 11:30am here and I'm on my third mug....not too bad, but not brillantly healthy either. I drink far more of the stuff at work than at home though - at home I tend to drink low sugar squash rather than coffee once I've got past the morning waking up bit.

In Canada, we have this thing called "coffee", not brown water. Try it. I know people who do lots/day, but that's just too much. You wear a pee-bag? We love our Timmies, but if I attempted 24 medium double-doubles from TH, I'd explode.:omg: "You say your computer won't turn on? Let's see ... [flip flip flip].
