Poll: How much / how often coffee drinking

[sk8ingmom]

Since we are on a drinking binge today, here is a coffee question: How often do you drink coffee & if you drink regularly how much do you drink in a day?

I'm a pot-a-day gal, so about 12 cups. I drink coffee from the moment I get up until I eat lunch around 1-2 p.m.

Oh yeah, according to one of the other threads, I drink too much alcohol too!

I drink coffee about twice a week. I don't actually like coffee, but I love Coffee-Mate. (Especially French vanilla and pumpkin spice)

I don't drink coffee, I just don't like the stuff. Even those different flavored ones (French Vanilla, Irish Mint, etc...) all taste the same to me.
But, if I am at somebody's house, and they give me a cup of coffee (without asking), I can drink it, I just don't like it.

Coffee is my best friend in the morning! I deal with several small children all day and it gets me going!

 

[sk8ingmom]

...and I drink regular (good) coffee, black.
No calories, just caffeinated goodness.

I don't drink coffee at all..... But I do like to go to Starbucks and get an Iced coffee drink once in a while, does that count?

Even tho I'm only 15, I drink one cup usually a day, minus weekends and holidays. Only on school days. It gives me a good motivational boost.

I replaced both coffee and diet soda with water & lemon when I started my diet on January 1. The first week was REALLY tough, but now the water seems to give me the same boost I felt the caffeine was giving me.

I have never been a coffee drinker. BUT that all changed when someone introduced me to Starbuck's coconut/banana frapachino (sp?) and then I decided to try the hot stuff. Can i just say I LOVE STARBUCKS!!! It is fattening and expensive so it was nice not having one anywhere near me. I could only get it as a treat when I went into town. Well can you believe one was just built near me, holy moly I live in the STICKS!! . Its been open a month and ive been really good only gone twice and once was to get a g.c. for someone for xmas. Ill be broke and fat if I go to often lol.

Well I voted 6-8 a day, but:

I fix one for the drive to work and I usually finish that one off.

The rest I have at work. Since I run a busy retail store, I rarely get to finish a full cup so I am usually dumping out what is left for a fresh one. While I may fix 6-8 cups before lunch, in reality I probably only get to drink 3.

Better than my ex coke addiction. I used to finish off 6-8 of those 20 oz. a day. Bad bad bad!

Better than my ex coke addiction.

Yes, coke addiction - BAD!

 

[pfishgirl]

i drink 1 cup of Tea per night and 3-5 cups of coffee per Week..

 

[kdm31091]

So, is coffee horribly unhealthy? It's better then being addicted to soda?

I really don't drink much soda, maybe 2 glasses a week at most. Coffee, about 5-7 cups a week, depending.

I have never had a sip of coffee. It is just NASTY to me, the smell makes me want to vomit.

But according to the other thread, I'm an alcoholic who needs help coping with life.

 

[twinklebug]

OK, all you folk from the Massachusetts thread, sing it with me:

"Dunkin' Donuts,
It's worth the trip!"

... that jingle was around and gone before I had ever even tasted coffee.
I thought it was about the Donuts -- how wrong I was

 

[eclectics]

I'm bad. I think it's a little too much, but it's one of the few vices I have left . I voted 6-8 cups. I nurse a 12 cup pot along all day and evening but it's for the two of us, and I average a bit more than half of it. It's my smoking substitute (I quit a year and a half ago). It's like taking a few puffs off a cigarette and putting it back in the ashtray. I take a few sips of coffee and then put it down. The mug just keeps getting nuked all day.

 

[katerkat]

I'm not addicted, I'm not. I grab a 16-ounce latte 2-4 times a week, I'd say. I haven't had one since Friday because I've been too sick to drive, and I'm shaking...

I've managed to cut the Coke to once a day.

Poor RadioNate, they have upset you with that thread havent they LOL. Dont worry I dont think you are a drunk, cuz well that would mean im one too

 

[candykisses]

I voted occasionally, but I love, love , love coffee.

I used to drink coffee all day, but since I had my gallbladder removed coffee makes me sick.

I love to smell coffee brewing.

Lucky for me, I can still drink all the tea I want.

 

[pennst8r]

I usually finish the pot I make in the morning. It never seemed like a lot until I just wrote that!

My family always had a pot of coffee on, so I don't think I had a choice of liking it or not
