How much coffee do you drink in a day?

I have 2 or 3 cups in the first hour I wake up, one mid morning, and occasionally one of an evening.

Do you think this is a normal ammount or is it excessive and I should look at cutting back?

I do drink 25 -30 teas and coffees a day. I basically run on caffeine 😅 am on my 7/8th already 🤭

Oh thank goodness, I was reading all of these posts thinking 'oh shit' I knew it was bad but .......

I have about 12 coffees a day, I live on 5 hrs sleep a night out of necessity and coffee keeps me moving. I'm asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow so it's not affecting my ability to sleep.

🤣 I've been an insomniac since tweens and cutting out caffeine doesn't change a thing so I enjoy my coffees and whatever sleep I get is a bonus😅

I have adhd so coffee calms me down.
I drink 4/5 nespresso in the morning out of habit then water after 12.
But if I can't sleep I'll have a coffee to help send me off to sleep

Is that a adhd trait? My father drinks coffee to help him sleep too we all think his mad

@Clocloxx yes it lowers my heart and stops me panicking. Apparently a lot of things like stimulants have the opposite effect with adhd.

1 cup a day must be before about 2pm - I'm an insomniac.

Most days I have maybe 3 x cups of tea. At weekends I'll have more than that plus coffees. Sometimes I'll make cold brew and make iced coffees or sometimes I'll go out with a friend and have a couple of coffees.
