Coffee & Tea Addicts!!! CONFESS! lol

[deletetacount123]

So really... how many cups a day do you have?? lol

I only drink Tea.....

Usually I have 2 a day (morning and evening).
If tired or cold then I may have up to 4.
If Im sick, I overdoese on Tea by having at least 1 cup every hour or so lol (hey, it makes me feel better and since I have no one living with me... tea is my comfort... otherwise I'll be snuggling on the couch with my loved one as she strokes my hair with her fingers :) )

[ladymozart]

Well this is sad to admit this but I drink about 12-24 cups of coffee a day.
I used to be on the high end of 24 but now I am down to about 12-14.
Funny thing is it doesnt make me hyper and i can go to sleep drinking a cup of coffee.
I drink it because I love the taste and it gives me that extra kick that I need to get going.
My doctors tell me I need to cut back but I think there are worse things i could be doing like smoking or drinking.
Does anyone else share my addiction?

Like you, I can drink tea late and still be able to go sleep.

[mindfinding]

Sometimes its 2-4 x-large a day, others it less. But I am what some may call a "coffee snob".

I like the "Red Eyes" you get at second cup. If you havent tried it, I dare you.

Red Eye
1 shot espresso
1cup medium roast coffee.

Booyah!

[Azrael]

Coffee. Sometimes espresso, mostly drip. Six to eight cups a day. The original energy drink :bigrin:

[jedinudist]

I'm addicted to both, and I just took a temp job at Starbucks, free drinks at work and a free pound of coffee or tea every week

[LoveLion]

Im not a big tea man, but I love my Timmy Ho's. I have on average 2 a day i think. I also have a espresso machine in my kitchen, so I can make espressos and lattes and cappuccinos and mochas etc, when every I am feeling a little fancy.

[arana]

I like a little coffee with my cream and sugar but for the most part I dislike coffee. Teas are more my thing, hot or cold. Caffeine doesn't effect my sleeping at all but I don't drink a lot of it because it dehydrates your body.

[wanderingrichard]

[object Object]

definitely coffee... nothing like that rich soul satisfying dark roast grab ya by the neck and shake ya awake in the morning feeling... and please, no cream or sugar or any of that degrading fru fru add in crap.. take like it was meant to be, straight strong and naked.. tho as i get older i dont drink as much as i once used to.. and definitely not after 7 pm either..

tea on the other hand, for some reason i dont drink a whole lot of it, maybe 3 -6 cups a year?? not much by any standard.. maybe it's because when i was a kid, tea was only drunk when you were ill...

[Herbwoman39]

I used to be a Mountain Dew addict. I was drinking a 24-pack every 2-3 days. It took me two years to get completely off caffiene. I now drink decaf on the rare occasions that I have coffee. As for tea, I only drink medicinal herbal teas when I need them.

Caffiene depletes the bones of calcium and contributes to osteoporosis.

[hardandhomealone]

I'm an enormous tea drinker, as well. My favorite is Tazo's Awake brand. I got hooked on it at Starbucks and now brew it myself, saving boo-koo bucks and making myself less of a slave to the world's favorite coffee chain.

[TorontoGuy2007]

i drink green tea every morning partially for the caffiene and partially because it acts as an antioxidant and helps the body filter out crap, but i wouldn't call it an addiction..

[DiamondDog]

I drink a wide variety of teas black, green, red, white, and herbal.
I drink anywhere from 1-5 cups a day usaually not more than that.

I also like coffee and prefer smoother types that aren't acidic or ones that are "burnt" tasting. I have to put milk and sugar in it, even in espresso.

A shot in the dark (coffee with espresso) is nice too but again I have to put half and half and splenda/sugar in it.

[Bicuriousity]

I drink both but sometimes I have been known to abuse coffee and I got heartburn for the first time two years ago because of it. It was really really bad and I never had it before, so I went to a doctor about it.

I quite coffee for several months, but went back on it the middle of last year.

With a demanding work schedule and all I've been known to drink more than is good for me, so I try to cut back from time to time.

On another note, a really awesome tea house opened up within the past year in my town. Now they have some really awesome teas there.

I have switched it up a bit and may go off coffee for a while just to prevent heartburn. I don't want to take medication for heartburn all the time (and currently dont).

By the way if you like tea, start switching it up to loose tea brewed with a nice tea pot and kettle. I like the taste better.

Lately since the weather is warmer I brew up some and make it iced. I bring that or a protein shake to work.

[Solomon]

i only drink water.... yep... sure.... only a little mixed with coffee... one ground... ok maybe ten grounds... OKOKOK! so i drink about a pot of coffee a day! geesh! :bigrin: :bigrin:

[izzfan]

I have to admit that I don't seem to drink much coffee or tea these days now that I'm a student - I mean, before university, I used to have only about 1 mug of coffee a week but now I hardly ever seem to drink it. I have to admit that I did have a bad experience with caffinated drinks once [eg: me forgetting how strong they were and drinking quite a few of them and ending up awake and hyper for an entire night and jittery/paranoid in the morning lol] and I really don't like pro-plus much [the student;s best friend lol].

Nevertheless, I heavily prefer coffee to tea. I mean, some herbal teas can be quite nice but ever since a very young age I've had a preference for coffee. As for my favourite type of coffee, it would probably be mocha or cappuchino but instant is pretty good - I mean I remeber drinking a few ultra strong cups of instant when I was about 13-15 (over a period of a few years, not all at once lol - that would be dangerous lol) and going on about how 'cool' it was. These days, I prefer my coffee at a more normal strength. I don;t think that I've ever drunk more than 3 mugs of it in a single day though.

Izzfan :flag2:

I am not much of a coffee drinker--I do but --it's really not my fave thing.

I guess it is from having lived down south for a number of years---but I love Ice Tea--

I don't drink it high test though--I use Luzianne Decaff-and don't sweeten it with sugar--I now use Stevia Powder---trying to cut sugar intake---

I also do like Chai----

My favorite soft drink these days is made in Kentucky and is only distributed in that state and adjacent parts of other states including my part of Ohio---the soft drink is called "Ale-8-One" or as it is pronounced " A late one"--it is a form of Ginger Ale---a bit stronger than ones like Schwepps or Canada Dry but not quite as strong as Vernor's---

[skipper576]

I drink 8-10 cups of coffee a day, some days more. I try to break it up with decaf tea. but still hooked.

[darkeyes]

Me inhuman till me 1st 2 cupsa coffee of the day hav been guzzled! Afta that..me all sweetness an lite... drink 2 much coffee prob, tho hardly eva drink tea. Herbals sumtimes..

[tink1978]

I never drank coffee until i moved to Seattle Washington, Coffee Capital of the World, Now i have to have at least 1 20oz a day or i cant cope with life. I try to mix it up with Chai tea but not often.

being from the south i like my tea strong and sweet. I have found some instant tea that you put in a bottle of water and do those on days the boys and i are out and about. :bigrin:

[Abbey Road]

I`m a tea person & have at least 12-18 cups a day.It`s the one thing I never go out in the morning without until I`ve a couple of cups. :flag4:

Abbey Road. :bibounce: :paw:

[FerociousFeline]

Oh yeah....OHHHHHhhhh yeah.

I love teas and coffees. I drink starbucks colombian whole bean coffee.
I grind it really fine and use too little water to make it really hearty. Then I use coffeemate vanilla caramel for sweetner/creamer. MMMMMmmmm

I drink three cups of this superstrong mix in the morning, and switch to arizona green tea after lunch.

[patrick4U]

Both for me. At least one pot of coffee per day - I like it hot in the morning and then drink it luke warm or iced the rest of the day. Espresso, too - same way. Iced tea is my main summertime drink - besides two gallons of water per day. On average a 1/2 gallon of tea per day.

[diamond_tether]

When Jay was in high school he could have 4-6 cups of coffee a day regularly. Thankfully, he's calmed down a lot and rarely drinks it now. T's a big tea drinker and can comfortably have 2-3 cups in a day. Right now it's about a cup a day for her.

[Studley2000]

Ladymozart..I think that am the male version of you. If we knew each other we would probably be great friends. I drink at least 20 cups of coffee a day and it never bothers my ability to sleep.

[Seigun]

I drink iced tea as often as I can find it. I never really thought about how much I actually drank it, before! 0.o I guess I have a friend of mine in Austin to thank for that.

Living below the Mason-Dixon line, I'm also very used to sweetened ice tea. I'm not finicky enough to require all of my tea sweetened, but it at least has to be pretty strong. The bitter kick of the basic sort of tea you get everywhere here is nice to me. ^_^

I'm not much into coffee: the only two sorts I drink are mocha and with chicory (the second I know I got into because of where I live. :bigrin: ) .

Coffee with chicory is second only to iced tea in my book. ^_^

Yup Minimum of a pot of coffee a day. Then 1-2 cups of tea at night before bed. Caffeine addict here big time!! :tongue:

[stormalong]

6-8 cups a day

San Francisco Bay extra dark Italian roast ahhhhhh!! finest kind!!

[NorthBiEast]

Tim Horton's for the win!

I drank 2-3 cups a day until the instant I got pregnant, then it always seemed burnt, yucky. After the baby, I did well for a little while, but then my supervisor took me to Tim's, and now I'm back up to 3 a day.

I usually start getting wired about halfway through the second :rotate:

[flexuality]

Me inhuman till me 1st 2 cupsa coffee of the day hav been guzzled! Afta that..me all sweetness an lite... drink 2 much coffee prob, tho hardly eva drink tea. Herbals sumtimes..

hehehee!! me too! No coffee = not human!

wonder what species we are before then....dunno, but is probably a dangerous one!! :bigrin:

[12voltman59]

As I said in a previous post--I am not a big coffee drinker-but my main weakness is ICE CREAM!!!!

Man oh man do I love Ice Cream--even though its one of those things you should not eat too much of or all that often and I don't eat it much now like I once did----

But do I love Ice Cream-

"You scream, I scream, we all scream for ICE CREAM!!!!" or however that saying goes!!!! LOL

[shadowsaffinity]

i love starbuck's skim chai lattes and i have at least one a day. i was thinking about trying to stop ddoing it since i know they are about 300 calories, but any time i try to go a day without my daily starbucks, i feel like crap all day. i have no energy and just want to go to bed right after work.
