How many cups of coffee do you drink each day

I used to drink up to 7 cups a day but have forced my addiction down to 2 cups a day.

How many do you drink a day?
Do you feel that you need coffee to function?
Do you feel any side effects if you don't get your fix?

  I cant do it - not cold turkey at least. I end up looking like someone trying to quit a drug addiction. I get the migranes and the shakes, I get lethargic and my speech starts to slur.
  
  On that note I like coffee so dont feel a need to quit all together. I just needed to cut to lower my blood pressure after the doctor gave me the warning talk a few months ago in relation to an early childhood heart operation.

Usually 2 or 3... but I can function pretty well without it. I didn't really realize I was a morning person until I moved in with my boyfriend who really doesn't do too well before he's had his coffee.

When I was in first grade my mother-you won't believe this-used to give me a cup of coffee every morning before school. Talk about attention deficit disorder. But I haven't had a cup since.

  That's interesting since I HAVE 3 ADHD kids for which coffee was the "drug of choice," in keeping them calm in the summer months when they could not have their medication!

I usually stop blinking around 10AM.

Heh.

But seriously, I really do love and feel like I need that first cup of coffee - but if I odn't have it, I don't go through withdrawel symptoms or anything crazy. I will be groggy, though.

5 cups for me. Last month I managed to stop drinking coffee for a week. the first few days off it was rough. the headaches were bad. I dealt with it because I just wanted to see if I can give it up. Unfortunately i'm back on the stuff.

0 coffee is so bad for you. I think I may be the only person in my family not addicted.

  Depends on where you get your info regarding coffee.
  There is plenty of information that indicates it is good for you.
  
  I'm sure that has something to do with moderation of course.

I drink Coffee in an intermittent cycle.

Uhm... If I can get a Rockstar Mocha Coffee - one a day --- LMAO - that's how I Flow.

But I will interchange my morning with a coffee or a tea (double bagged and prefer Earl Grey with 3 spoons sugar, dollop of honey and cream in it - but can go generic black tea when saving bucks.)

I like flavored coffees - but plain will do when I need to get up.

I'm a Nightflyer - so daytime requires some sort of massive caffeine infusion when I have to interact on a professional level with other human beings.

Uhm But Dr. Pepper is my uhm.... Coke.

LOL!

Daily addiction - 24 pack every 2 weeks - I have to have at least ONE a day..

And I can only drink it when the bubbles are brand new - so if it is open more than 20 minutes - it's done... I won't touch it...

And it doesn't matter if it's hot or cold...

LOL!

I have cups that hold half a pot, so I usually drink two or three cups a day, four when the energy demand is high. I drink it straight black, though, so at least I'm avoiding the cream-and-sugar unhealthiness. When I was pregnant I had to drop coffee and that hurt me - I worked in a tiny office and we ground our beans fresh and the smell drove me mad, while the headaches made me feel free to express that frustration. It took a couple of weeks before I really felt right in the mornings.

I drink two cups of coffee in the morning. If I can't have coffee, then I'm disappointed, but I can go without it. However, it does seem to help wake me up.

I lose count after about 9:00 a.m.

Do I need coffee to function? No. I need it to live.

If I don't have coffee I get severe headaches and start to have homicidal thoughts. Fortunately, without coffee I would pass out long before I acted on those thoughts.

Okay, here is a question in response - If you do not drink coffee what is your morning drink of choice?

Mine is tea - hot in the winter (Earl Grey usually), and ice tea that I make jugs of all season long.
