Caffeine

Until very recently I basically drank no caffeine - no tea, no coffee, no energy drinks. None. But then I started a new job that involved waking up much earlier than previously and I was so zombified in the morning I took to having a can of Red Bull to perk me up and get me through. After only three months I've already realised that I struggle to get through a working day without that can. I'm much less productive, I get irritable and I lose focus. The problem I have is I never get enough sleep - generally less than 7 hours a night, and then if I go clubbing at the weekend I'm lucky to get any sleep at all on Saturday.

But still, it raises the question. Most people seem to take in significant quantities of caffeine every single day. How dependent on it are you?

I used to drink 2-3 cans of Red Bull almost daily. But I decided to get healthier so I've worked my way down to a litre of black (cream and sugar are bad and make you fat) coffee every day. Try to get off the Red Bull man, that shit'll kill you.

I took a three month break from it and didn't feel any better off. I can only afford 4 - 5 hours of sleep a night, so I'll probably drop caffeine for a while once these projects are done.

Actually, I got "addicted" to iced café au lait when I was in Japan because I love milk (rather than coffee), and I tend to drink one or two cups every day. When I do drink black coffee, it's because it's free and people gather around the office kitchen to chat sipping it. I'd say 300 ml per day is about average for me.

As for Coke/Pepsi, only on the weekends, and with tons of ice. Less than half a litre, that's for sure.

I drink a lot of tea, more for the ritual of taking a break though. I don't really have any particular habit or dependency. I go very long periods without it at all and am fine.

Back when I was a student I used to drink 6+ cups of coffee a day Strong shit too, like double espressos. These days I just have a single cup in the morning. I don't think I'm that dependant on it any more, as sometimes I skip a day (read as: I forgot to buy coffee ) and don't seem to be any worse off, energy-wise.

Good advice, although without cream and sugar to me is not drinkable, but at least with coffee you can keep it to a minimum.
Like Lira I also try to drink Coke/Pepsi only in the weekends.
I drink just 2-3 cups of coffee a day. Average for men over here is 7 and 5 for women.

I drink a lot of coffee. To the point where I will get a crippling headache sometime in the afternoon if I don't have at least a cup or two in the morning.

So... extremely dependent. I guess.

Not particularly - I'm very sensitised to the stuff, so if I do partake, it has to be on a full stomach and when I' don't have an overly crazy day ahead. I enjoy the occasional single-shot espresso, but I mostly drink chai, maybe 3-4 times/week. The trick is getting sufficient exercise and sleep - I treat people with caffeine dependencies all the time, and it creates a vicious cycle that tends to rob people of the latter, making the former a seemingly formidable task. Excess caffeine taxes both the adrenals and kidneys - end result is poor sleep patterns, low back pain, cold extremities, hair loss and death.

O.k., I lied about the last two, but you get the idea.
