None. I drink tea instead.

dto here - I only occasionally drink a cup of coffee during the weekend or when I meet somebody over lunch.Originally Posted by discovery1
I used to drink 4-5 large cups during my first year in my current job - the coffee we ahd here tasted like **** and by afternoon I usually was a a bit fidgety due to too much caffeine. So at some point I decided that it might be a good idea to switch to tea...

I'm just not human till I have 3-4 cups of coffee in the morning. When they bury me, my wife has promised to slip my coffee machine and mug into the coffin. Right next to my salt shaker. Everyone should be so blessed to have such a dutiful woman.![]()

Coffee? Occassionally. I love tea --when made well! Have a couple glasses daily at least; usually ten or so.
I like weed teas too.

No caffeine at all...I wake up very quickly.
I've actually read that an apple in the morning is more condusive to pepping up than coffee.

No coffee, tea or coke (coca cola?).

I drink tea, 2 cups in the morning and 1 or 2 before i go to bed.
I am a tea and coke man really. Drink 2 cups of tea a day and around 3 500ml bottles of coke a day, though sometimes I have the occasional coffee, in fact I have one sitting right next to me as I speak.

INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.

Started drinking coffee at 7.
Most coffees in one day was 24. After that my face had a numb feeling like going to the dentist for a day. Was all in a exam lead up... so I decided to have no coffee for a six week period before study week at uni from then on... to maximise any alertness from coffee.
I gave up coffee for an entire year when I was 24 ... ironically this happened when I was working in gold exploration and was working in Sumatran mountains (exploring in and around coffee plantations).
I can't imagine the horror of trying to rein in a 7 year old boy after he slugs down a cup o' joe. I bet the term rambunctious was an understatement.
My personal record for coffee consumption in a day (16 hours) was 30 cups, three 10 cup pots worth. We were on lock down at the jail for 6 days straight to search for contraband and weapons after an officer was beaten and stabbed to death by an inmate gang. I was wired enough from the situation alone, that I didn't sleep much for those 6 days, the amount of coffee I consumed guaranteed it.

I gave the beans up when my wife was pregnant. She couldn't drink, so I didn't either. After a very brief withdrawal, I found I slept better, so I haven't gone back.
They make some really great decafs these days, so if you like the taste and the warmth and the whole ritual of the thing, there's plenty of goodness out there.
I've been migrating over to Red Bulls and Soda. Tastes a lot better, plus it has more chemical junk in it.
"And one should bear in mind that there is nothing more difficult to execute, nor more dubious of success, nor more dangerous to administer than to introduce a new order to things; for he who introduces it has all those who profit from the old order as his enemies; and he has only lukewarm allies in all those who might profit from the new. This lukewarmness partly stems from fear of their adversaries, who have the law on their side, and partly from the skepticism of men, who do not truly believe in new things unless they have personal experience in them."
~ Niccolo Machiavelli
