    cups of coffee (or tea, JoltCola, whatever) do you drink a day? I just had a meeting with a client and he told me he used to drink 10-15 cups of coffee a day :~ until he switched to green tea. And I thought 2 cups a day is already bad enough. Ed

    I recently had a blood-pressure scare (turned out to be "white coat blood pressure") and decided to cut our caffeine altogether (no tea, coffee or cola) as an experiment. I cannot stress how much better I feel - I am sleeping better and I feel less stressed/wired - and I only had a few cups of coffee/colas a day. I stick to squash/juice now.

        One cup of tea in the morning with my breakfast, one a couple of hours later at work, and one in the afternoon at work. Sometimes I'll have a cup in the evening, but not normally. I used to drink about that much coffee too. I switched to a limited intake of tea and feel much better for it :) -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit! Buzzwords!

          I used to do about 10 cups of coffee and 20 cups of tea a day. Cut it down now, 4 coffee, 10 tea. regards, Paul Watson South Africa Colib and WebTwoZero. K(arl) wrote: oh, and BTW, CHRISTIAN ISN'T A PARADOX, HE IS A TASMANIAN!

Now I drink coke occasionally(about 2 times a week) and I drink herb tea 2-3 times a day. Herb tea is very healthy. I feel much better now without drinkin' coffee.

                      Couple cups of coffee and black tea. I believe that 10-15 cups of coffee a day will blow any mind off. Have you noticed anything strange in your client ?

                        I used to drink about 4 cups of regular coffee per day, but have switched to 1 cup regular, and the rest decaf. Occasionally, I might have another cup after dinner, or a cup of green or red tea at night. I haven't missed the extra caffiene a single bit. BW

                            generally 1 coffee and 1 - 2 tea per day... so I don't think I'm breaking any records around here.

                              Me too. I used to drink coke, not coffee, previously. Now my daily fluid intake consists of about 4-5 litres of water with the occasional orange juice.

                                I drink an entire pot of coffee each day, which corresponds to four 12 ounce cups. This isn't all that much in the way of caffeine, however. My recipe is one scoop of caffeinated plus four scoops of decaf. The entire pot gets carried to work in my trusty Stanley[^] half gallon thermos. Buying coffee at work is expensive, in the quantities I drink, plus the coffee here is pretty foul.

Exercise is great... but if the sleep apnea is often, then the best bet is a CPAP machine. If you find a good mask, you barely notice it. Although NM has a very small population, I set the state record in apnea/hypopnea events in a single night when I had my sleep study. After a CPAP no problems. However I still dream of caffiene IV's. The caffeine only covers up the apnea tiredness, you are still suffocating in your sleep. _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

I may have joked about the "get a rope" from the old el paso commercials in the bob coffee mug thread, but I have given up caffeine as many times as my grandfather "gave up" smoking. I congradulate anyone who can. :) _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau. Talk about things of tomorrow and the mice in the ceiling laugh. (Japanese Proverb)

                                          Me too. I used to drink coke, not coffee, previously. Now my daily fluid intake consists of about 4-5 litres of water with the occasional orange juice.

                                          Man, you guys are motivating me to give up my morning cup of coffee. I drink a lot of water during the day, but still I shouldn't be even having one cup. Keep it up. Jeremy Falcon
