    I used to drink probably a full pot a day but down to 0 now.. More energy than when drinking coffee, but that might have something to do with the eating better too.

    Got this from a magazine but according to the New England Journal of Med. subject who drank 3+cups of joe had a 10% lower risk of early death than non-coffee drinkers Booyah!!!

    A ha!, I knew those people who tell me, "you are going to kill yourself with all that espresso" were wrong after all!!


    And I also read their chances of colon cancer is something like 15% lower!! :drinker: :drink

    The researchers looked in detail at their diets, habits and health, and found that people who drank four or more cups of coffee a day — regular or decaf — had a 15 percent lower risk of colon cancer compared with coffee abstainers.

    I'll drink to that! =)

    I only drink lattes - about 40oz - 50oz with probably about 6 - 8 shots. I had been drinking about 6 20oz lattes but cut down as it was using too much of my calorie allowance that I can now use for ice-cream!

    My coffee maker makes '12' cups. I drink this every day, black, flavourful, aromatic, robust.

    MJB French Roast
    Van Houtte

    Most any good dark coffee if I am out. Dislike Starbucks.

    Sometimes a couple cups of tea (TWININGS Earl Gray, Fujian Green Tea) in the evening during the winter.

    No sweeteners, no creamers/lighteners. Straight up!! Never mix a drink.

    I can't usually drink more than about 12 oz, because it makes my heart race and my blood pressure go up. But I love it.

    I don't drink it at all. To me, it tastes terrible and makes your breath reek. I tried it in college (about 2 cups) while studying for finals once, and I thought I was going to have a heart attack - lots of palpitations and heart racing. It also did terrible things to my digestive tract. I don't know how you guys can stand it. Is it kind of like cigarettes, where you just develop an addiction for it and you don't feel well if you don't have it? :sick:

    I am not addicted to it. I go for days without drinking it. But there are very few things in this world as amazing as a caramel granita.

    6-8 cups a day (plus a couple of diet cokes - eeek), but trying to cut down. At least I drink it black.

    Having cut out treats, alcohol, smoking and become a total gym bunny, caffeine is my one remaining vice. I'm allowed one right?!

    I drink about 3 mugs of black coffee per week. I would drink more, but I'm quite sensitive to caffeine - that's about as much as my body can handle. I drink loads of green tea though - about five mugs a day.

    Not for me - I just love the taste. It's like a nice treat for me. But I know a couple of people who drank so much of it each day that they got withdrawal symptoms when they tried to quit.
