How much do you drink

Coffee that is...?

I know I asked about how you drink your's now I'm wondering how much do you drink? One cup in the morning? A pot in the morning?

The reason I'm asking is that now that I've started drinking (coffee again) that I'm finding I'm craving it during the day. It makes me jittery if I have more than about 3 cups but I really like it mid morning, after lunch and after dinner except I think it keeps me from sleeping if I have too late or maybe it's too much during the day (?).

I have two cups in the am. Very rarely I will have a third in the afternoon. Usually if I'm craving coffee later in the afternoon/evening I make some decaf. Otherwise it keeps me up all night.

I constantly drink coffee. Between DH (who works nights) and myself, we go through almost 3 pots a day! Awful I know

I have insomnia due to peri menopause (I think) so I've cut down, not that I ever drank that much but now I'm limiting myself to 1-2 cups each morning. I used to drink coffee quite a bit at dinner time to stay awake later, but it almost never worked and then I'd wake up in the middle of the night.

Now occasionally I'll have a cup later in the day on the weekend, but other than that, I'm trying to drink much more water.

2 or 3 cups in the morning

I don't drink coffee. It stunts your growth....and at a mere 4'10, I can't afford to take chances!

When I do splurge on a Starbucks visit, (VERY RARELY!) I get hot chocolate.

I drink 1 cup in the morning and 2 at night(which is probably why I have a very hard time going to sleep at night)

**Drgnfly423** · 01-12-2008, 10:36 PM

I have 2 in the morning, 2 in the afternoon (half-calf) and decaf after dinner. =) I love coffee!!

Usually one mug in the morning and that's it. I think my mugs hold about 12 ounces, so it's more than a cup. If I wake up with a sinus headache, I might have a second cup, as it seems to melt or cut the blockage. I really like the taste of good coffee, but that's it for the day.

I drink about 3 cups a day most days in the winter. dunno why. When i drank more, and year round i was thinner. think it made my metabolism speed up, jittery??

MAybe that's why I'm short too!!

personally i do not drink coffee .. i am to young to drink it *winks*

However, Joe drinks one to 2 pots a day through out the day. He used to drink the cheapest coffee he could find, now he has to drink folgers or some higher end coffee because the cheap ones make me naucious *lol*

I don't drink coffee but I do drink hot tea. I have 1 or 2 cups a day.

**acidcookie** · 01-12-2008, 11:03 PM

I don't drink it so regularly that it's a part of my day. Maybe a cup a few times a week. Though I've been making a lot of "lattes" lately with my little stovetop espresso pot.

I drink tea fairly regularly too. Usually just green, sometimes white, black when I want a bit of a kick.

DH and I drink it all day and night. He makes a pot every morning. I drink on it all day while he is at work. Then when he comes home he makes another and we drink on that one up until we go to bed.

Caffeine does not effect either of us. He and I can drink a pot of coffee and then go straight to bed.
