Caffeine is a drug. It's a stimulant no different the cocaine or heroine. Most people are also addicted to it, and like most addicts they think they aren't and can quit any time. Yet they never do, and always feel better when they get their fix. The only difference is one is socially acceptable because its effects aren't quite as bad as the harder drugs.

I think the worst part is all the sugar that we swallow with all that coffee
|
|
|
|
|
I drink my espressos with very little sugar, in part because it ruins the flavor of the coffee and in part to avoid the terrible aftercrash the sugars give!

And I feel guilty every time, especially when I open the second bag .P

coffee isn't the only way to get caffeine

At first I calculated for brewed coffee, but then I realized my brewed coffee is almost as strong as an expresso ... .
In any case, if I skip my coffee in the morning it is severe head aches in the afternoon

When I stopped taking in caffeine, I found the headaches stopped after about 24 hours.

Coffee, the first thing I look for on every sunrise..
Researches show, that the morning coffee wakes you up and increases your efficiency. I do believe. Some say bad about it, to whom I don't listen to.

I don't drink coffee products and I wish I could get caffeine free soft drinks and tea in restaurants. Yes, I can get some caffeine free soft drinks at Costco, but I usually only drink soft drinks and tea when I go out.

Two 16oz mud-coffees, each made with a very heaping tsp of coffee (or more).
In the morning, upon arrival in front of The Digital Altar.

should have been on the list: my preferred tipple after I kicked the caffeine habit. Ok, I know decaf still has some caffeine but I am allowed to delude myself.

There is a bug in my body. I can drink a cofee like water and go sleep without any problem.

I don't drink so much coffee, but I drink an espresso before going to sleep. I sleep like an angel.

I think that bug's been getting around. I think I've caught it too!

This is clearly the case of Chicken and Egg.
My doctor explained that I was self-medicating with Caffeine. I can range from ZERO to 500mg a day.
I find that I drink more when I need to focus, without distraction.
In fact when I am knee deep in a project, I make sure I have more caffeine sources available.
As a side note, since taking Zyrtec for allergies, I have very few Caffeine headaches on the days I don't do any. (I don't drink coffee/cola on the weekends very much, unless working)
I refuse to take any "real" drugs for my ADD... I have seen the Ticks and other side effects these have caused.
But I am SHOCKED at how little caffeine the respondents are saying they get daily. This flies in the face of Cola drinking programmers (and almost everyone I know)...

I enjoy a cup of tea before work (sometimes) but generally abstain from tea and coffee during the week. Like wine I tend to favour saving a good coffee for the weekends. You lose the caffeine kick if you have it regularly. I drink lemon tea at work.

I can't measure. I mean I don't want to measure... I don't want to mess up my head with calculating caffine...
I have enough other coding issues for it.
If you ask how many cup of tea or coffee? Answer is 2 or sometimes 4 a day.
Life is a computer program and everyone is the programmer of his own life.
