I never like coffee..I just take one cup of coffee in the morning. It is just because it helps me to start the day actively. Afer that I never take coffee in a day. If it was raining out or if I wanted a coffee badly, I would go for another cup.. Otherwise I would be fine with fruit juice or fruits. How many cups of coffee do you take in a day?

coffee - drink coffee
i like tea more than coffee . this is because i am grown up with tea and drink very little coffee during my childhood days . but i do like taste of coffee. i use to drink coffee when tea is not available . on average i take around 15 times in a month. so very less as compared with others. usually i start my day with tea or coffee

That is a very good habit. You consume less tea and that is more healthy too.

I think 4-5 cups in a day is something high..Coffee contains Caffeine. Caffeine is an alkaloid (chemically trimethylxanthine). This alkaloid raises blood pressure, stimulates the kidneys, and temporarily averts fatigue and tiredness, so has a stimulant action. It can also be a cause of insomnia in some people. So try to reduce the number of cups you drink now..It would be good for your health.

I am a coffee addict. I have 5-6 cups throughout the day. Just black. No cream or sugar. And it's usually Starbucks. We buy the bags and brew it at home. I have found an energy drink that I like (I know what you're thinking not any better lol) but this energy drink actually has vitamins and minerals in it and not a lot of caffeine, so I'm trying to substitute the 2-3 cups of coffee I drink in the afternoon and early evening with one of these energy drinks, so I can have my 2-3 cups in the morning and an energy drink in the afternoon.

I take coffee all the time. I love strong black coffee. Coffee is always ready made in the coffee maker in my house.

Good that you prefer Black coffee. But I have heard that there is no difference between the bad effects. It is all the same, if you take black coffee or coffee with milk and both will have the same bad effect.

I usually loose count after 7th or 8th mug... It never really affects me like it does a lot of people... At times, it even makes me tired... I drink coffee with most of my food...

I don't drink coffee everyday - sometimes i will make a pot if there is someone to share it with (it's a small pot) and then have 2-3 cups. Lately though, as it gets colder out I like coffee a bit more :)

That is true. On a rainy day we always feel like taking an additional cup of coffee. But make sure that you do not go for more cups of coffee.

I usually only have about one cup of coffee a day but drink tea for the rest of it. I only really want coffee when I smell it or mainly in the afternoon to wake me up abit because im struggling to stay awake at work. I really need to stop drinking them sort of drinks though because they stain your teeth.

You are right in your decision. Tea does not have any side effect. Infact it is said to be good for health.It is also a good idea to stop drinking both coffee and tea..But I think then the body will beg you for something to stimulate the nerves..

A cup of coffee -  I chose a pic of a cup of coffee from Yahoo images.
I am addicted to coffee like a lot of other people I imagine. I do try to drink it in moderation and keep it to one to two cups a day. Sometimes if I am dragging a little later in the day I might make another cup. I usually will drink decaffeinated coffee in between. I like to drink it pretty regularly though and a nice snack goes great with it as well.
