tea/coffee per day

[violetblue]

Approximately how many cups of tea/coffee do you drink per day? i drink about 15-20 cups of tea, and this is normal for me, yet in some publications they seem to imply that 5 is excessive. I rarely drink coffee.

[hundreddolla]

I drink about 3 - 4!

15 - 20!!??!!

Where do you find the time.......?!?!?

....................no but seriously..................Where do you find the time.......?!?!?

Three in the morning before work. 2 if lucky on my break. 1 or 2 at dinnertime. another on next break. Then on tap all evening. i put the kettle on, make the teapot for two, pour one out, drink it, put the next one in the microwave as it must be piping hot, then a little later on I'll make another pot of 2, and so on. Before I go to bed I have 2 cups of tea. I'm at home at the moment and I've had 4 so far; just going to make another pot.

i only drink tea at work and if i have two cup in a day that would be a miracle, i much prefer water

[crete]

are you suzie from big brother ? all she seems to do it make and drink tea ?

[violetblue]

I never watch big brother and don't know who Suzie is.

[crete]

quite honestly you are not missing much

[ugly_bob]

1 tea for breakfast
maybe 1 more tea/coffee through day

or, if i'm on-site working, I might push the boat out and have 3 in a day.

I've had 2 cups of coffee already this year - well over the usual amount. I think I need to cut back.
Seriously, I've just never really liked tea or coffe. Hot chocolate on the other hand.....

I'd say I drink about 5 or 6 cups of coffee a day - this is mainly because apart from water, I don't drink anything else. I don't like cordial and not over fussed with fizzy drinks.

15-20 though - that is a lot of kettle boiling!

[Jenarry]

that is so much caffeine! do you ever sleep?think most people only have a few cups a day. 3's the most i ever have.

[violetblue]

I don't sleep much, come to think of it. However, I am a busy person (thought not at the moment); tea drinking has to fit around my routine, like fags fit around a smoker's routine. Whatever i do, I can do just as well drinking tea.

[hammerman]

Usually drink about 3 or 4 cups of coffee when at home but only 2-3 cups tea when at work.

I've started drinking those fruit infusions, really nice !!!

[DillyGent]

violetblue, my dear old mum used drink on a par with you. Lived to be 88 without any illness until her death so I think carry on...

[eyeshade]

None, No coffee or Tea now, they both used to give me the shakes and keep me awake at night.

[MidnightBite]

Bloody Hell !!!! I Bet You Never Sleep !!!! Wow

[bug123]

And surely you must spend a good proportion of the day on the loo!? I thought I was excessive with the occasional 4 cups a day! :o)

[violetblue]

Sorry bug 123 tried to answer but it didn't get sent. Yes, I go quite often but not excessively so. I often arrive at work dying to go, and somehow (don't ask me how) 'forget' about it until mid afternoon.

I would say that the amount you drink is exessive. No wonder you don`t sleep well. Caffine can work as a laxitive.

Ps. Sorry forget to add it can also irritate the bladder.
