I probably drink a pot a day- 12 cups. I'm sure that there are many out there who drink way more....

Yes. Like almost everything else you can eat and drink, too much is not healthy. But I don't know what that would be for coffee . . .

But you're talking about 12 8-ounce cups - that may not be too much spread over a whole day.

Well, I don't think that level of caffeene is good for you, but I don't think it's horrible.

As for the question, yes there definately is a such thing as too much coffee. I have one or two cups a day, during the week at work anyway. Much more than that and I definately feel it. That doesn't mean I never drink more than two cups; but it's not a pleasant feeling so I'm usually pretty good at limiting myself. It can be hard; I love coffee.

Well if that wiki article is right, then why don't we just mix the two? If my boss gets mad that I'm using Baileys in my coffee, I'll just say, "Hey, you've had three cups. You're intoxicated too! Bugger'off!"

Do you drink it over a short amount of time or does it take all day?

If the latter, which you seem to imply, then it's probably not as much of a concern than if you drink it in one sitting.

Two cups a day, every day.

I used to drink ~6 cups a day while at work, and 2/day at home. If I skipped a day, I'd get withdrawl headaches... bad ones.

Last year, I started experiencing chest pains. I went to the doctor and she said it was acid reflux, probably from too much caffeine.

So, I compromised between the chest pain and the headaches.

I do about the same, 3-6 cups or so. Hmm, 3-6 mugs I should specify. That's on the weekdays, I'll maybe drink one or two on the weekends. On vacation I'll go days without any, no withdrawal headaches or any other signs.

I guess that makes me able to quit at anytime I wish without suffering.

Ironically I spilled coffee on myself while typing this up. It must have thought I was threatening to quit and did a preemptive attack.

One cup a month.

However, I am quite the Dr pepper fiend.

Actually stop drinking coffee a month ago after I got sick one night, I did have heart burn for a few weeks before and I was just drinking a couple cups a coffee a day. At times before I have drank more coffee a day with no problems. But I do have at least one caffine source left, coke.

I'm a coffee lover .

I'm an addict , THEN.

But I can now regulate myself to 1 cup a day or 2x a week.

I'm into Water Theraphy now.

If I need to be up and around relatively quickly, I need some caffeine and sugar (these days it's usually sweetened iced tea, but in college I was a coffee fiend). If I can sleep in for a couple of hours, I undergo a much more gradual transition from full sleep to full wakefulness.

But you did comment.

I don't drink coffee. However, I do have caffeine. On days that I have 8:00 classes, probably 400-500mg/day from various sources, and more like 100mg/day on other days.

When I was in radar school, we surfed all day, partied all night, and went to school from 11:30pm till 5am. I kept going with lots of coffee and No-Doz. After about a month, I was in the hospital. I couldn’t even hold a pencil. They fed me lots of valium for a week, a week which I don’t remember.

So you're getting caffeine plus sugar.

I won't touch soft drinks anymore. I drink maybe two cups of coffee a day, and maybe two cups of green tea at work.

Coffee may be a stimulant, but at least it won't give you diabetes. As long as you don't put sugar in it, of course. If you put lots of sugar in coffee then you're basically drinking coke minus the bubbles!

Pepsi had Pepsi Kona for awhile. I was in the target market area during the short release and remember buying one.
Wow, ok, they've got a few coffee related drinks out.

Then there's Coca Cola Blak.

Hmmm, Coca-Cola may take on Starbucks - MSNBC.com, it's a bit dated, Jan 06.

I never tried it. Once a hotel us agents some but some got mine before I could get to it.
