    I drink a lot of green tea and herbal tea too, as an attempt to drink less coffee.

    You asked it like a question? There's never too much coffee! :)

    I don't think I drink quite as much as you, but fairly close. I do love coffee.

    There were a few posts on here about getting enough water. Not to dismiss their concern entirely, but the water in your coffee does indeed count. Caffeine itself is only a mild diuretic, but that effect increases with the dosage. The net effect of drinking coffee is hydration. If you have any doubts, you can usually tell if you're getting enough water by the color of your urine.

    I drink a couple of cups everyday. I'd rather saw off my own arm then give up my coffee. :drinker:

    Funny you should post this. It's 4:15pm here and I just went to get myself a cup of coffee. If I were smart, I would have made decaf. But I'm not and I will sleep like poo tonight as a result.

    I drink a crap ton of coffee. Probably 6 cups or so in the morning and one or two in the afternoon. Some afternoons I just drink tea or Diet Coke instead.

    But coffee is totally an appetite suppressant - which is why I got myself some now :)

    I would likely try to jump out of my office window if I didn't have coffee. I'm not sure you can ever have too much of it. Moderate amounts of coffee are also very good for health!

    Drink on!!

    Thanks. I drink at least 1 liter of water a day. I should be fine then.

    A liter of water a day is well below what you should be drinking, even without the coffee! Maybe try to get yourself to drink a cup of water between cups of coffee to up your water intake. A lot of daytime fatigue is due to dehydration anyway, so it can only help.
    Coffee hydrates folks just fine; studies show the dehydration effect of the caffeine is minimal on anyone with any sort of built-up tolerance.

    We'll, it's 9pm here and I won't have another one - I won't be able to sleep if I did.

    Looks like coffee is just fine and I am not even drinking that much in comparison.

    I think I drink enough water, coffee and tea all together.

    No such thing.

    I drink coffee by the POT, from 7am-10pm.
    Generally at least 1-2 teas a day.

    Espresso? At minimum it's a quad shot of white coffee (more caffeine than regular).

    Pre-workout drinks (300mg of caffeine)


    Yum.

    When do you drink water, when your drinking coffee all the time?
