Big coffee drinkers, how much do you drink?

[Matryoshka]

For those who drink a lot of coffee, how many cups are you having a day?

and has anyone successfully cut down?

I really want to drink less, but with the sleep deprivation and no support, i really rely on it to keep me awake.

I drink 3-4 expresso's a day, and then something lighter in the afternoon like 1-2 iced coffees.

I drink 2 or 3 big coffees a day.
During Ramadan I cut down to one in the evening - the first day I usually have a headache and feel tired but the next day I'm fine.

I dont drink coffee as I am not a big fan of it but I jsut wanted to let you know that I jsut heard on the news that coffeee drinkers have less likely chance of getting skin cancers/melanomas becuse of something in caffeine that attacks bad cells!

Sorry I dont have more info, it might be on again at the 6pm news!

Not me but DH has at least 8 cups a day, plus several cans of Pepsi Max.

I would normally have 3-4 expressos a day. I have cut back before to 1 cup a day and found that the first day or 2 had horrid headaches, but after that actually felt better and had more energy.

[Matryoshka]

Yeah thats exactly why i want to cut down, i know i'll have more energy.

Its funny though, i have tried skipping the coffee but having caffiene in other sources, like guarana, coke etc, but i still crave the taste of coffee, strange!

I drink a lot but I stop at about 2pm or else I will not sleep at night

I have my first coffee before 5am and I've probably had 2 or 3 by the time I get to work 3 hours later and I grab one when I head into work, then another at about 10:30 and then usually this is enough but I have been known to have one at lunchtime

I normally have 6-8 per day and a milo at night but i have cut right back wth bing pregnant and having more hot milo's but i am desperate to find a nice de-cafe coffee cause like some of you ladies said its just the taste that i crave!!
