Re: Coffee Addiction
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.
GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

Re: Coffee Addiction
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).
Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

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.
Re: Coffee Addiction
I only have coffee once a month or less.
Usually 1-3 soda's each day, 1-3 cups of milk and 4-6 16oz bottles of water.
Coffee in the morning makes me real queasy...I can only drink it after lunch.
