Cups of coffee

[7dayslater]

AIBU to ask you how much coffee or tea you drink per day?

Also, if you feel you need it in the morning to properly wake up?

I drink x3 cups of coffee a day. Sometimes have a tea although not everyday.

Probably way too much.
Start every morning with cup of tea.
Then 2-3 coffees
about 5 more teas throughout day and evening, occasionally swapped for a coffee

On average 8-10 per day - mostly tea.

Cup of tea first thing, then 2 or 3 coffees during the morning. Then tea again in the afternoon. I used to have coffee in the evenings, but it started keeping me awake, so I have decaff now.

On a typical weekday:

One cup of coffee first thing, usually around 6.30-7am.

Second one at work during the morning - sometimes straight after dropping dd (I WFH), sometimes late morning.

Cup of tea in the afternoon after pick-up. Sometimes a second one while cooking dinner, but usually only one.

Cup of tea (sometimes decaf but caffeinated doesn't stop me sleeping) in bed in the evening.

About 15 to 20 until recently, I'm down to about 10 to 15 max and plan to get to no more than five.

I'm really trying to cut down. I don't think I'll ever give it up totally but would like to get where I'm only having a couple of mugs a day.

I used to want one as soon as I woke up but it's now an hour or so before I have one. I quit smoking in 2017 and found that a price of puss with the Alan Carr book, I'm finding reducing caffeine very difficult to be honest.

Re the needing it to wake up - it helps, but it's more psychological than physical, I think. When I'm ill I go off coffee, and often tea too, and I do notice after a while (after recovering, when I haven't got the taste for them back yet) that I am more tired than usual without.

Four or five cups of tea a day (normally decaf). I hate the staining on my teeth from it, though. My dentist told me to follow every cup of tea with a drink of water, but it hasn't really made much difference.

It varies. If I’m at home and doing boring stuff i’ll drink a lot to break things up, and also to stop me looking in the fridge for something to eat.

If i’m at work i don’t bother, although sometimes if very early I’ll take a cup in lieu of breakfast as I can’t eat at that time but feel better with something in my stomach.

Have to have coffee immediately. Grind the beans and make it in a stovetop thing...have about 2-3 of those before midday and then on to tea. Have about 3 teas per day.

I have one cup of coffee most days, usually first thing after working out but before eating breakfast, if it's later in the day I'll have a decaf. I like the taste and sometimes feel it does help wake me up in the mornings, could go without it though.

I know so many people around my age or younger who don't drink hot drinks at all! It's so bizarre as I do find them very comforting as others have said.

I usually have a very strong tea when I get to work, and some days a decaf tea in the evening. I wouldn't say they make me feel any more awake but I do crave a brew in the morning.

In the summer I'm all over an iced latte but don't really drink hot coffee at all.

Usually two cups of coffee in the morning

More if I go out, I very rarely drink coffee after 2:30 as I sleep badly anyway & coffee after seems to make it worse, but not always.

Tea - I gin through phases, but I drink it black & very very weak - just a slight dip if a tea bag in hot water. Often I just drink hot water.

I also drink a lot of cold water.

No juices/squash/fizzy etc - unless it accompanies alcohol! & I usually drink wine instead.

BIG cup of tea on waking.
Cup of tea with breakfast.
Cup of coffee mid-morning -- sometimes instant, sometimes will buy a latte or a flat white.
Cup of tea mid-afternoon.

This can vary a bit from day to day, might skip one or add one. But the morning tea never changes. I drink it in bed and it gives me time to wake up and feel human. I NEED that one but the others are more because it's comforting, I enjoy the taste and it's sociable.

2x small or 1 large tea before waking up properly. Then 3 or 4 throughout the day

Used to drink 1 cup of coffee at 9am, and if I missed it by more than half hour I'd get a horrendous headache. Same for the 3pm cup. I'm sensitive like that :) This lasted for 5-6 years, then I decided I'm done with this, quit, went through awful withdrawal, 2 weeks of headaches, now it's been 1 year of only decaf coffee, 1-2 per day, and maybe 1 weak cup of tea. Once I got rid of the dependency, no longer felt like I needed coffee to wake up, I do still like the taste and smell of it so much, so decaf it is.

I always have one strong cup of coffee in the morning and sometimes another one during the day. And 1 or 2 cups of tea, depends on my mood

1 coffee at my first call, tea or coffee at my 3rd call one on my break and either a cup of tea, a herbal tea or hot chocolate before I go to bed. That's all I drink and probably also the reason why I suffer from recurrent kidney infections but I just can't drink anymore

I cant function without in a morning, my head is foggy.

I am trying to drink less now, mixing it up with hot Ribena Winter Spice. So today so far I have had 3 coffees and 1 Ribena and a glass of water in place of coffees. I have been up since 7. I will have another when I get back from.school run, another with my dinner, one/two in the evening whilst studying. I may have another couple on that as well whilst watching tv.

About 4-5 mugs of tea a day. And I don't function in the morning until I've had my first cuppa!

Usually 10 cups of tea. However I am recovering from a broken bone and advised to avoid caffeine so currently 0!

I only drink about one cup of coffee a week at the most, and it has to be before 2pm. After that it stops me sleeping. I can feel my heart rate going faster within half an hour of drinking coffee and it takes hours to wear off. It means that when I have coffee it's a real treat.

Tea, though... I love tea. I must drink 7 or 8 mugs a day at least.

Big cup of latte first thing, seem to "need" it, but that could just be habit. Then another mid morning. Switch to a tea mid afternoon, and then sometimes one before bed. So, only 2 of each every day. Sometimes they are the only things I drink in a day, very bad I know .

Just realised I have only had 2 cups of coffee so far today...... thanks for the reminder..... goes off to get a glass of water (and a cup of tea).

Literally had a conversation with my friends this morning about tea and coffee and they were all in shock about the fact I don't drink either of them

None.
Very, very occasionally I drink tea. Never coffee.

I have a cup of strong black coffee when I first get up. May have another one if I'm tired.
Sometimes have another cup around 3.30.

That's all I have. Don't ever drink tea, yuk.
I've always drank coffee black. I used to drink a lot more but replaced it with water, at least 3 litres a day.
