How Much Tea And Coffee Do You Drink

[emmie]

I have been wondering whether to cut down as i drink about 4
cups of coffee in a day and stop before 4pm.
Is 4 too many?

[emmie]

so i'm not overdoing it.

[Mamyalynne]

Course not.

[maggiebee]

Emmie, I probably have 4 cups before lunchtime! I am going to try to cut down though as I'm sure I drink far too much tea and coffee.

On average, if it's a work day seven cups of coffee, if it's not then usually about ten. I can wake in the middle of the night and drink a coffee, an no, it doesn't keep me awake.

only tea..don't do coffee..but at least 10 a day....

[Gromit]

I'm weird. Don't drink Tea or Coffee

Water, Milk and Beer.

[murraymints]

plus 2 litres of water.no wonder I wee so much !!

Four cups Wimp! Seriously though its each to there own, I drink about eight cups of coffee on an average day but also drink plenty of (Tap) water throughout the day... I'm sure that dilutes it in my bloodstream... I only ever drink Tea at Mums... a cup every couple of month I can cope with.

A colleague used to zonk out on the sofa every night when he returned from work. After threats from his wife he saw his GP who diagnosed caffeine overdose - he drank coffee all day at work. He went on to decaf and was a new man!

3-4 cups of tea a day. Now and again, 1 cup of instant coffee late morning. Too much caffeine makes me shaky..

[Arksided]

I thought there's as much caffeine in tea as coffee... or an urban myth?

[Patsy33]

Yes Arky, there is....

[david small]

One milk, One coffee, one tea, then water.

[murraymints]

can get decaf tea as well as coffee ! only buy coffee for window cleaner !

[Arksided]

Thanks Patsy, I thought so. It explains a lot ^ shhh Xx ;-)

One cup of tea in the morning and then about 6 strong mugs of coffee whilst at work.

I am the same and drink 4 a day and last one is after dinner at 7pm I dont think 4 a day is excessive and I dont seem to have any ill effects but I have been doing this for years, so I think your consumption is ok imho

[DTCwordfan]

2 coffees in the morning, if I drink it after lunch, it impacts on my sleep...won't drink decaf as I used to sell the solvents they extract it with. One cup of tea in the afternoon - both always black and no sugar - I am white and sweet enough already.

[hammerman]

I have 3-4 mugs of strong coffee before 9am but usually I don't touch it after then.....unless I'm out at the garden centre etc

Yes, 4 cups of coffee per day is really too much. You need to cut down the number of coffee cup. Take maximum 2-3 cups of coffee and tea in a day. Coffee contains high amount of caffeine. According to National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, GPs should ‘discourage excessive consumption of coffee and other caffeine rich products’.
