OK, I'm a major coffee/tea addict! Daily I drink Morning (7AM - 12PM) 1x tea 3x coffee
Afternoon (12pm -5pm) 2x coffee
Eve (5pm - 9pm) 1x coffee 1x tea.

I feel Guilty for this amount, being in a very hands on job makes it harder to cut down on coffee etc.

    Why do you want to cut down?

    7-8 mugs of tea a day, I've given up other stuff I love (I'm an all or nothing gal) I am not giving up my tea :)

    Edit due to poor grammar.

    One mug of coffee per square of chocolate in a bar daily.

    Thisequates to roughly 10-12 mugs daily.

    :drinker: I approve of this.

    I usually drink around 10 cups per day. More on days that I'm switching between first and third shift and vice versa.

    About 5 cups of tea a day... maybe 1 or two coffees while at work...

    Try and replace a couple of coffees with green tea (I have to have the fruit infused ones, cant stand the taste of plain green tea :sick: )

    I wondered if my high caffeine intake was slowing my progress as well.

    I drink about 7-8 cups of coffee a day with skim milk no sugar.

    I have 2-3 cups of tea a day. Usually English Breakfast or Earl Grey in the mornings, then I switch to peppermint or some other herbal tea around 4- 5pm.

    Coffee gives me a massive headache, too hard on my system.

    We Americans love our drugs!

    I approve also, haha.

    Everyday varies for me. I usually drink 2-6 cups of coffee / day. It's not too much.

    Sometimes I'll have 1-2 cups and then a monster.

    I used to drink tea... just haven't had any for awhile. Most is herbal if I do drink it; no caffeine.

    Four cups a day, generally. If you're offering a method of increasing this amount, I am eager to hear your proposal. :drinker:

    Minimal. I drink green tea throughout the day, but that's the only caffeine I get.

    0 caffeine intake since March 9. Never a coffe drinker but used to drink too much soda. Water is pretty much it with an occasional Guiness or Oberon.

    I try to keep my caffeine low, because I notice mood swings if I have a lot of it. Like REALLY BAD...depression and irritability/snappishness which I guess would just be lower patience with everything. I have 1 mug of black coffee usually in the morning, or 1 tall something or other. There have been days where I have a second cup in the afternoon but I always pay for that later with not being able to sleep or being really angry for no reason 5 hours later lol.

    2-3 Espresso a day when at work, I gave it up for a while then I went all out and even have an espresso machine on my desk.
    I tried the Red Bull for a while and I do like it but I wanted to cut out all fizzy drinks

    I have 2 cups of black coffee in the morning and leave it at that. Nothing but water the rest of the day, I've never been one to drink juice or pop...but occasionally will have a tea in the evening.

    Well, when my teeth aren't bothering me I have anywhere from 4-8 cups of black coffee a day. If they are bothering me though, I go for 2-3 cups of green tea with ginseng, honey, and milk. :)

    Hello fellow comrade-in-mugs. I do a 2x K-cups before I leave for work, Dunkins XL on the way, 2-3x more 8oz Flavia freebies at work, and then usually 2 more K-cups at night. I do try to make those last two the Green Mountain "half-caff" k-cups.
