I'm starting to fall back into daily cups of coffee, after several solid years of being a tea person. Granted, three cups a day won't kill me and I don't usually drink that much anyway, to say nothing of my college days when I basically lived on borderline illegal amounts of energy drinks, but you've got to draw the line somewhere.

So. Cuppa Joe. Do you drink it and how much do you recommend?

Nope - not unless I'm running on empty, which is rare this time of year.

Back when I worked at an office though? I lived on a combination of the stuff and Monsters.

Ding ding ding! Monsters was my drug of choice in college. Don't they have labels on them to recommend no more than 3 cans a day? Some days I might've drank up to 5.

Oh god, Idk. It wouldn't surprise me. I don't think they did when I was drinking it, but it's been...7 or so years since I worked there so that might have changed.

Red Bull and other energy drinks now have mandatory warnings on the label advising not to exceed 2 cans per day (due to new legislation after overdoses occurred).

Didn't start until relatively late, my first full time after college. It was an 8-4pm type job, and after years of scheduling afternoon classes for myself I could not handle the mornings. I really hate bitter tastes so always loathed coffee (liked tea though, especially green/herb teas). But the office had a free coffee machine, and being half asleep at 8, drowning it in cream and sugar...

It all went downhill from there. Now I'm 25 and drink at least three cups a day. I stopped drinking pop though.

Oh yeah, I'm getting pretty good at ordering juice or water when I eat out these days.

Juice is a worthless beverage. Well, not worthless, because it's full of all the fruit's sugar, but it has none of its good for you stuff. You're better off with water.

This is very true. And because the majority of juice is pasteurized, a lot of the vitamins from the fruit it's from isn't even there. Not to mention that most vitamins need fiber to absorb properly, which you won't get when you drink juice. And the stuff still has tons of sugar.
The health benefits of juice is overrated as heck.

Live a little. Some of us drink it for the taste.

If you want to drink it for the taste, OK, but don't treat us like we're somehow boring or deficient because (in my case anyway) my body won't let me drink juice, because of all the fruit sugar.

How'd you get a persecution complex out of even that, wow.

That's fair! But a lot of people actually drink it because they think it's healthy, which is what I protest.

I feel like you can get away with consuming some amount if you go to the trouble of blending it yourself, without adding extra sugar. Some people hate the texture of certain fruits.

if I wanted to live a little I'd rather have wine. lol.

Are you implying that you don't?!

(I actually can't stand the taste of most wine, hmm.)

Still delicious though.

I've seen studies that recommend a maximum amount of 4 cups and other studies that recommend up to 6.

Personally, for optimal health I'd say stick to 2-3 (depending on the size of your cup and the strength of your brew). Any more than and you begin to increase your risk of negative health benefits (due to effects on sleep).

I can't really drink coffee anymore? I used to drink a giant cup of black coffee everyday, but then I weaned myself off caffeine and stayed off it for about two years. Then I started drinking shit tons of black tea and I drink tea all damn day now. I tried to wean myself off tea but I haven't been able to yet. I tried to get back into the one cup of coffee in the morning instead of drinking tea all day, but coffee makes me irritable and dehydrated where tea doesn't.

1 to 2 cups of coffee is probably okay for most people, I think, though.

I drink at least one cup of coffee daily. I might bump it up to two once or twice a week. If there's some sort of crisis going on: three, but I try not to do that very often.

This "cuppa joe" thing, I have no idea, beyond it sounds stupid. Why do we have to make stupid phrases for common ones?

Drink it every day. If I don't have it I get headaches and can't function properly, so I have a kind of dependency on it. It also makes me good and helps me take a poop in the morning! I'm the type of person that inhales my hot coffee reverently in the morning, takes a big gulp, and then goes "Ahhh!" Lol.
I have around two cups a day. Three cups sounds fine?

I have a friend who's the same when they go without coffee, and sometimes I wonder if I would be affected the same way.

Except I love drinking coffee so much that I won't go without it to see what happens.... Lol.

I drink one or two (big) cups in the morning with breakfast, but for about four months I've been drinking it black. It's been a hard transition because I love a bit of creamer and a sugar substitute, but I know drinking it black is healthier so I'm making do.

I drink the occasional cup.

The basic recommendation is 300mg - 400mg of caffeine a day or less (the amount of caffeine in coffee varies - most are 75 - 200 mg per 8oz). Heavy use, more than 600mg, can cause side effects (insomnia, nervousness, restlessness, irritability, stomach upset, fast heartbeat, muscle tremors). But everyone is reacts at least a little differently due to body chemistry, medications, etc. Coffee can also be hard on your stomach and teeth.

I normally have 2-3. It used to be like 4-6 and I was a jittery mess. Didn't realise it at the time but I had constant heart palpitations and lost weight in a bad way. So I cut back a little and know what to feel for now.

Currently trying to put less coffee in each as well (used to be 4/5 spoons. Now 2-3 spoons no sugar)

Also drinking it slower so im not coffee after coffee

I've just started drinking coffee again instead of tea, because I got a job and it's just easier, quicker, and cheaper to drink the coffee they provide for free than to make tea every morning.

But I'm pretty much limiting myself to one cup in the morning. Really any more than that and it gets unpleasant. That's just me of course but I have no problems with sipping one cup all morning. It's not just the caffeine either, it just feels like coffee dries me out generally.
