i can only drink about a quarter to a third of a cup. if i go past that i get a speed buzz that is VERY unpleasant and wired out.
 
People love coffee and cocaine for the exact same reason.

In the past few years, caffeine has been added to the list of drugs in drug histories for intake assessments. Especially since the rise of energy drinks, caffeinated foods, and powdered caffeine. The difference between caffeine and cocaine is simply the level of stimulation per normal dose.

Those energy drinks are bad juju. They're sort of like cigarettes after you've been smoking for a while...hey this tastes like shit and makes me feel like crap and is killing me slowly, i can't wait to have another one.
 
I don't do energy drinks but drink coffee all day. I need it to feel normal. It's sad, but tasty.
 
Done now. didn't finish that cup. it is cold and now will go in the sink.

I do have some mid-winter dietary course correction to accomplish. Reduction of reliance on coffee is part of that. But I am a moderate. Not doing anything rash like swearing off it entirely.
 
I rarely break two cups a day anymore. And I'm even scaling backy tea intake. But when I was younger I could guzzle coffee and Mountain Dew until my heart skipped beats. Sadly I was doing that to play D&D all night instead of studying.
 
I work 3rd shift, and I work with a couple of kids (get off my lawn!) that will drink 2 or 3 energy drinks and a couple of Mt. Dew's…every night!!! o_O

I'm not sure how they can go home after their shift, and sleep :embarrassed:
 
I drink probably a gallon of coffee every day. Don't really care for soda, and energy drinks are downright disgusting.
 
I rarely drink coffee. I like it, just not so much that I crave it. I do have a bad energy drink habit, but I also have super ADD, so stimulants don't jack me up. Instead, they slow me down enough to be somewhat normal.
 
I might have 2 or 3 cups a year. I haz no addiction. Tea is my preference for caffine. It tastes much better to me.
 
I drink one cup per day on my way to work. It's a travel mug, so it's bigger than your garden variety coffee cup. Maybe 12 oz.
About once a month or so I'll have a second cup in the afternoon.

Just recently I started noticing that I get a headache without my morning coffee.
Maybe I should buy some smaller travel mugs.
