As though anyone is suggesting it is....

I worked with a man who would come to work with 2 full thermoses of coffee and before work, at lunch, and after work, he'd sit at a restaurant next door with coworkers and drink a couple cups.
I don't drink, but before we married, my wife told me I had to learn how to make her coffee before she'd marry me. Guess I did it right! 2 or 3 cups a day is her usual.

My consumption of coffee goes up drastically while at work. A couple of weeks ago I'd polish of 3 double shots of espresso plus maybe 16oz. of premium coffee -shop coffee. Come home and lie down and stare at the walls while my brain raced. Still haven't tended to the things I need to do!
Cashier said they have a regular who asks for 9 shots of espresso regularly...

Generally above 400 mg is considered too much. But I've seen other studies indicating more is better. I try to keep close to that 400 mg daily, sometimes, I might exceed it.

LOL

Dude, you need to get yourself a new calculator, or abacus, or perhaps some more fingers and toes, because whatever the hell you used to come up with 6,840mg in 9 cups of coffee is definitely broken.

When the jitteriness becomes too much, then the negatives are outweighing the positive with regards to coffee, YMMV!

I generally stick to 2-3 cups at most. Mr C can drink a pot of coffee and still fall asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow.

Too much coffee is when you start to hear the color green. Seriously, I can only take 1-2 cups in the morning. I have even quit brewing decaff.

My dad told me more than two cups (what "cups" meant as far as size I don't know) and he would get jittery.



A couple weeks ago I was out in my garage getting ready to work and I got all lightheaded and has brief "fuzzy vision" and I realized I had literally been guzzling cup after cup that morning and do believe it was all that coffee (caffeine) that got me sick.


Since, I have cut back...but I am thinking I need to seriously think about quitting it for good. I don't know that there are any benefits at all to it as I have social anxiety to begin with and I'm an alcoholic in recovery as well. So anything I have potential to be dependent on isn't beneficial to me.

Are you an alcoholic?

Lots of alcoholics in recovery go coffee crazy.
