How much of this sweet nectar do you drink a day?
I think coffee and video game production pretty much go hand in hand. I usually drink a modest 6cups - according to the coffee maker - or 3 actual cups.

Now I have an espresso in the mornings when I don't go to the gym (so maybe 3/7 days a week), and sometimes a coffee late afternoon if it's going to be a late night and I'm fading (maybe once a week).
I feel much better. But I do love sipping those espressos in the morning when I can.
2 or 3 actual mugs.
It's a definite addiction. I'm gonna wean myself off of it eventually.
AND NO ENERGY DRINKS!
mmmmmm coffees
Simple man, meth!
Any tea. You may have to drink a lot to get the equivalent amount of caffine, but it's a great alternative.
Don't usually bother with energy drinks, though - the highs and crashes seem more extreme than with even strong coffees. Though I did hear a commercial recently for this flavorless caffeine additive you can add to any drink called Fein (not available in stores), but I can't seem to find any information on it at all. Maybe the FDA decided it was too dangerous.
I'd be pretty miserable without that wonderful beverage.
I do enjoy tea, but it's often got to be sweetened too much to be enjoyable (imo) and I just flat out prefer the taste of coffee over it, anyways..
I used to have 2-3 a day when i was going through college but rite around the end of my final year i developed an ulcer and had to really cut it back. Nowadays i'l have maybe 2 or 3 cups a week at most or else i start to feel like shit. I find more than anything a good diet and light exercise gives me more stable and constant energy throughout the day
My highest amount I think was something along the lines of 2g of caffeine over the course of a day via beverages. 2 or 3 24oz rockstars and a few starbucks things.
One shell station near a place I worked had "wild buzz" energy drink in the soda fountain.
Right on
and twice a week or so i go out for real fresh coffee, and get like this big soupbowl of coffee,
think its like 0.4 liter or so XD
And yea I loves me the Joe... If I can see through it you're not brewing it right. If its too bitter then you're drinking the wrong stuff, just like beer.
LOL
the chinese and indians dont put milk it in..
I drink tea for most of the day.
that's OK, I am neither Chinese nor Indian
edit: aha! or do you in fact mean that God is
I can't stand sugar in my coffee though, milk is okay, but sugar just ruins the bittery edgyness.
Me to stefan... also knowing that you are downstairs keeps me... up... as well!!!
OMGZ GAY SAUCE!
I don't even really drink coffee but this stuff gets me. It should be the official drink of crunch. One cup of this and you could go a month.
Sometimes one in the afternoon too depending how I'm feeling. I used to get lattes from Starbucks until I realised that I'd save £10 per week if I just made it at work... works out about £500 per year, serious money!
Also the Starbucks latte has way more calories than the stuff I make, so it's better for me as well as saving money...
drink about 6 to 8 cups of tea or coffee a day
Ulcers aren't caused by things like this, although we used to think so. It's a bacteria that does it. Some mad Aussie guy won the Nobel prize after drinking a big old flask of the little bastards, then curing himself with antibiotics.
Anyhoo, I had a wierd cup the other day. The beans have passed through a cat-like thingy called a "civet" I think,In other words, cat-shit coffee. Wasn't worth the seven quid price tag, I have to say....
Yeah, thats why its not a huge problem anymore, nor was it the cause, but oily beans and that kinda jazz defenintely did not help when i was really feeling it, and when i did get better i just started feeling better by cutting back. I stick to loose leaf tea nowadays for the most part, but man, dig those beans still
I love coffee - I'm hardly a connoisseur or anything - but I only heard about this the other day. I don't care if the coffee beans pass through this beast undigested - there's no fucking way I'm drinking coffee that's been shit by anything.
I wouldn't drink coffee made from beans picked out of fucking unicorn crap.
Mmmm, strumpets.
god indeed is a chinaman
Most of the time I wake up in the afternoon and have no trouble staying awake anyway...
/salutes cosy-covered teapot.
lol.. just a little extra oomph? Sound like a drink that would keep me awake for a week.
