Coffee - how much too much?

[sdgregory 0]

I have one cup of coffee every morning. That is it. My Mom drinks coffee all day. From wake to sleep. Probably somwhere around two pots. I do not understand that. One cup is plenty to wake you up. The rest borders on addiction.

Do you get the shakes?

You should be worried since you are NOT drinking enough coffee!!!

I wake up at 5:30, make a 12 cup pot of coffee, and drink 10 cups by 6:30 when i leave for work.

I have a long drive to work, 20 minutes. I get there and make a 6 cup pot (smaller coffee maker) in my office. I finish this up at 8. AT 8:30 i make another one, and finish that off by 10:30. Then i make another pot for lunch at noon.

I stay off coffee until 1:30, and make another pot. That is done by 2:30. I usually pour more water into the pot after half the pots are gone. that way i get more coffee. I can leave work at 3, so i make the big drive home, 20 minutes, and walk in the house, feed the mutt, then make another 12 cup pot. It is all done by 5, so its time for dinner.

As I'm sitting here watching the red wings game, I put on a pot at 7:30, my last 12 cups for the day. This one if finished by 9. NO, this coffee doesn't keep me from sleeping, although i do have to visit the john usually once a night.

Lets see, thats 58 cups a day!!!

Do they have one of those 12 step programs for me and my coffee problem??

Sorry but I have to comment. This is NOT a long drive.

I am out the door at 5:50 to just barely make it to work by 7:00

THAT , my friend is a long drive.

wow, well by the looks of things it's not compared to the rest of these kids... i'd still be inclined to say that's a fair bit of coffee though.

i don't really drink cafiene at all, coffee or coke but my friends drink both all the time, even before they go to bed So what's the deal, do people drink it cos it's there and easy or because you genuinely can't get up and focus without it? could you just give it up tomorrow if you wanted?

Yeah, i was just joking about my long 20 minute drive!!!

I used to have an hour and a half drive to work, that sucked so bad, I quit that job for the one i have now, and took a large paycut. It was worth it, now I only put 5000 miles on my car each year, instead of 35,000 miles

Sorry, gotta get back to drinking my coffee!!!

Well I got all you pansies beat. I have had a total of 2 cups of coffee in my entire life. How in the hell can you people drink that stuff. Why dont you just go and chew on a piece of cow patty. Thats what it smells like

Yerba Mate, mmm.

Nothing beats a beverage that tastes like you've steeped an old broom in boiling water!

What do you do to make it taste better?

More than one pot is too much. I think..?

Well I can't go anywhere without stopping at the local coffee house to get my peppermint mocha. I can't go a day without one cup of coffee atleast but i have been known to drink more, but i don't think i could drink as much as some of you guys.
