How many cups of coffe you usually drink in a day and does it affect your health? I usually drink 3-4 cups but if i drinl less than that i get a really big headache. I have noticed that if i drink over 7 cups a day i start acting like a Duracell rabit.

my average would be 4 cups, but if i begin to feel bad like shaking or sweating, i drink loads of water, sometimes 3 glasses for every cup i drink, more if i still shake. sometimes i can't sleep and that's where the shaking comes from, but with coffee it feels worse. so water makes me feel better. and when that happens, i usually replace coffee with tea or milk or chocolate, but just to keep the habit of drinking something warm.

in a typical day i can drink 3 POTS of a typical 12 cup pot. im a stay at home mom so i always have acsess to it. i dont like soda or tea, water makes me sick to my stomach. i keep the milk for my kids. coffee is really the only thing i drink. i have cut down on the sugar i use, the dentist told me if i kept going the way i was all my teeth would be gone by the time i turned 40.

7 cups will do that to you!!! I am not getting a jitter effect from coffee anymore, I just barely get moving now with my big cup of java. As for how many i drink in a day, it varies a lot, sometimes only about two, sometimes 3-4-5. That's about it for me.

I drink 3 cups of coffee each day but I'm minimizing it now as much as I can because of the bad effects of coffee to my body.

lol. That's kinda funny...but not good for your health. It can speed up your heart to rates that wear down your body and take hours and days off of your life. If you want to drink less, just take a few drops less every day. measure your coffee and be careful. I drink about 2-3 cups everyday and have not noticed any effects that would be detrimental to my health. Of course, I do go some days where I add energy drinks on top of the coffee and then there's trouble. Coffee is good for you, but all things in moderation. That's important to remember.
