Remember a while ago someone saying "if you find yourself unable to get through a day with less than 3 or 4 mug-sized doses of coffee, then you're really in trouble"...hmmmm....I can't get through a day without a cup on my desk constantly - equates to roughly one every half hour at most, which based on a 10 hour working day, means that I must be on 20 mugs a day.... Two questions - 1.how much does everyone else drink, and 2. what are the ill effects that I have apparently not noticed with this amount of caffeine in me?

Well, when I used to drink it every day (5 cups), I had a lot of stomach problems so I gave it up.

Ah well, that sounds a bit like me though I try to aviod the 10 hr days. So I drink only 10-16 mugs a day. I havent noticed any effect but I am a bit worried what decades of such a habit does to the body. But it hasnt done this :rolleyes: to me yet!

I love coffee and used to drink at least a pot a day. It has never affected my sleeping patterns - I can drink a gallon of it and lay down and sleep. However, I did notice that it seemed to be having an adverse affect on my blood pressure. I was getting elevated blood pressure readings each time I went to the doctor. As I cut back on the coffee, the blood pressure decreased back to normal. So, now I drink two cups of tea or decaffe coffee ( X| ) each day instead of regular coffee. Although, I do treat myself once or twice a week to a nice latte or mocha, just for old times sake.

I'm a reformed coffee lover/addict. I've always found though that if I had a cup anytime after lunch, I'd be awake in the night and it would affect my sleep greatly. Sadly, like Stan mentioned, I've also discovered that the two cups of coffee that I would normally have each morning was elevating my blood pressure substantially to over 150/90. I now only have a cup about once a week on Sunday mornings and my bp is around 130/75. I know I'm healthier for not drinking it, but I miss it greatly. :(( :(( Chris Meech We're more like a hobbiest in a Home Depot drooling at all the shiny power tools, rather than a craftsman that makes the chair to an exacting level of comfort by measuring the customer's butt.

RichardGrimmer wrote: 1.how much does everyone else drink Well, 2 mugs in the morning, and between 1-3 cups of double espresso in the afternoon. I always have a bottle of water beside my desk, so I only drink coffee when I feel I need one... or two... or else :zzz: I prefer espresso, because my stomach likes it more.

I drink around 2 or 3 cups a day (on a total of 500~600ml/day), but in small portions. Take in consideration that brazilian coffee is tipically very strong, like an expresso coffee.

I'm an addict and there's nothing I can do about it. Infact i was complaining about it on CP about 3 days back. I missed my cup in the morning and had the worst possible morning of my life..headaches,yawns,dry mouth and other such niceties. Long term effects...my blood pressure is high and I've been advised to quit but can't. Am about on 4 mugs a day which is lower than what I was on before the BP diagnosis " Invading armies can be stopped but nothing can stop an idea whose time has come " - Voltaire

RichardGrimmer wrote: Isn't it true that tea has more caffeine than coffee when made strongly That may possibly be true, but it makes me feel a lot better about myself knowing I'm off the coffee intake:~. Even if tea has be same or more caffine than coffee, I still feel as if its more healthy. A bit like switching from regular to light ciggies (they both kill). ;after all, drinking tea has a better health image around here than grudgy coffee drinkers.

Then It is a soda. 2. what are the ill effects that I have apparently not noticed with this amount of caffeine in me? I have had no problems other than needing to use the john often.

Definitely not healthy. Now I manage with only one pot in the morning, a vast improvement. Dehydration is a much overlooked effect of excessive coffee consumption; abdominal pain is another. I've heard, too, that caffeine is also associated with the formation of fibrous cysts in various parts of the body - not a problem I've encountered yet, but one I'd definitely prefer to avoid. It's worth keeping in mind that caffeine is an alkaloid, a relative of strychnine - a deadly poison used to kill rats. The toxicity of caffeine is very low, but in large concentrations it is likely to be quite damaging over time. Will Build Nuclear Missile For Food - No Target Too Small

Yeck! That orange stomach biz is gross! I can't handle coffee anymore tho i LOVE it... stomach probs. drop coffee has the most caffeine per cup then espresso with about 3/4 of drip. then tea with about 1/2 of drip. then cola,pop,etc at a LITTLE below tea. At least my stomach can HANDLE 2 cups of tea each day. And i still get a caffiene boost albeit a WEAK one...:( I miss coffee soooooo bad :/ and now i know my stomach is orange! thanks a LOT! gettin middle aged-ish bites :) ...Steve
