Dawnybabe · 01/10/2010 13:42

3 or 4

and twice as many trips to the loo

thelunar66 · 01/10/2010 13:43

7 or 8.

I should just set an IV line up.

lukewarmcupoftea · 01/10/2010 13:45

2 or 3 if at home, 1 if at work
(too lazy to join in the tea round)

7 is quite a lot! Could you make some of them decaf?

SoMuchToBits · 01/10/2010 13:45

Usually about 8. But I used to drink more before I had ds. I now find it hard to drink tea after about 5 or 6 pm. I drink loads in the morning though Smile

SoMuchToBits · 01/10/2010 13:46

lukewarm, does your name explain why you don't drink many Wink

MrsJohnDeere · 01/10/2010 13:58

3-4 cups of coffee
2-3 cups of normal tea
1-2 cups of decaff tea

bigTillyMint · 01/10/2010 14:00

Probably 7 or 8 Blush

But all the cups at home are decaff and some of the cups at work are fruit teas.

No coffee though!

Somuchtobits - hah, yes, hadn't spotted that (dense emoticon). Yes I might have a few more if those pesky kids let me sit down for long enough to enjoy a hot one!

Hulababy · 01/10/2010 14:11

About three cups of tea at home - decaff at home though.

Then a couple of cups of caffinated coffee at work.

If I am at home for the day I drink tea like a chain smoker puffs cigs. So I always have one. So I reckon about 12 a day as I drink slowly even if they are cold.

loopyloops · 03/10/2010 10:36

About 5-6 coffee and 1-2 tea.

I'm totally addicted to coffee and only have the tea in order to try and restrict the coffee.

topsi · 03/10/2010 11:11

None! I have just given up caffine and alcohol and I feel lots better for it! (smug emoticon)

Smash09 · 03/10/2010 15:07

3-4 tea
1 green tea
2 coffees

Oh well, life's short...

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 03/10/2010 15:31

5-6 most days, and maybe a coffee as well. And I'm pregnant, so shoot me Grin

The antioxidents in tea are very good for you though, so no need to worry about it I don't think.

RageAgainstTheTeen · 03/10/2010 15:57

my dh drinks about 15

He's addicted to tea.

brettgirl2 · 03/10/2010 18:50

I'm with Alibaba - I don't think there is much need to worry. When I was pregnant with DD I was told a maximum of 6 cups, but they seem to have reduced that recently.

If you are going to be addicted to something then it might as well be something that isn't actually bad for you. If he starts drinking 15 units of alcohol a day, that is time to worry.

I must admit I don't understand the point of giving up caffiene, unless it disagrees with you and you have bad dreams or something.

I probably have about 4, on average.
