Your Coffe "record"

Whats your "record" in coffe drinking in a day? I'm now (currently this minute) doing my own "record",not for the fun of the record, but for the taste of the coffee:p (aah, friele.. by the way, those of you who drink friele coffe, i'm born in the same city :O) ) back to the subject. I'm now at my 15'th cup of coffee.... still there is about 11:30 hours left before this day is over...

another question regarding my coffee drinking.... can one die of caffiene shock or how much coffee must one drink then?

well im reading that 10 8 ounce (not sure how much an ounce is) cups is in excess. So i suggest you seriously slow down. If its too late your gonna need to google search "treatment for caffeine overdose" or something.

Sigh... I work at Starbucks. That's all I have to say about drinking coffee.

Let me put it this way: I can do most things with one hand tied behind my back. That isn't because it IS tied behind my back, but because my right index finger is permanently attached to the handle of a coffee mug. At least, until the sun goes over the yardarm.

I have about 5 a day at work. I don't know my record, but it's up around 10 and I still slept the same as I usually do. I drink a fair amount of coffee everyday so I think my body doesn't really get affected by the caffeine anymore.

I worked at a coffee shop for 6 months, never really picked up the habit. Now I have about 4 cups a week (don't usually get one on friday unless it's a tough week)

One time in college though I had about 5-6 cups. I was up for about 3 days, decided to stop and sleep when I completly dropped dead while playing ultimate frisbee. I think I slept for about 20 hours.

Needless to say I've decided caffiene abuse is a bad thing.

I had to get up and into town early for something sometime, but I couldn't get home and I fancied something strong, but I always hate having tiny cups of coffee, they're never satisfying enough. The guy in Starbucks asked if I needed a doctor when I asked for a quadruple expresso!
