How much caffeine do you consume per day?

[-]

Bread9846@reddit

Usually 0. I am definitely in the minority lol

[-]

tygramynt@reddit

Im part of that team so here i am lol

[-]

ToxDocUSA@reddit

I try to save it for night shifts so that it works at a reasonable dose when I truly need it.

[-]

LeafyWolf@reddit

I drink a ton of decaf. Just enough caffeine to keep me going without keeping me up with anxiety for a week.

[-]

yescaman@reddit

I am about two months coffee-free. I am nearing 60 and feel it’s made a positive difference. Otherwise I don’t normally drink caffeine — the occasional coke or sweet tea.

[-]

MarqiMichelle@reddit

Same. My body can’t process caffeine so I go without it.

[-]

I'm I. That boat now. I had to get off caffeine for a month before a surgery once. The withdrawals were horrible. Once they were over though I felt so much better. My blood pressure was better, I slept better, and I found I was more alert during the day despite not having caffeine.

So even though I could have gotten back in it 30 days after surgery, I just never did.

I drink decaf coffee every morning (which technically does have like 1% of the caffeine still) because I actually like coffee. I drink decaf black tea, herbal teas, caffeine free sugar free sodas like root beer, orange, sprite, etc etc. I drink Kool aid made with Splenda, zero sugar Gatorade and sugar free lemonade.

So still plenty of options to drink.

[-]

PlutoniumBoss@reddit

Same here. It does bad things to me.

[-]

Bread9846@reddit

It actually does absolutely nothing to me. I used to drink energy drinks just for the taste but I stopped doing that

[-]

Free-Sherbet2206@reddit

Me too! Sometimes if I drink an energy drink at the right time (around 3 pm) I have enough energy to be productive after work

[-]

my_clever-name@reddit

Two to six cups of coffee each day. I drink the dark roast kind.

[-]

Dragosal@reddit

Between One to two 21oz soda

[-]

Such_Mortgage_1916@reddit

Anywhere from 400 - 800mg. Typically in pill form

hawffield@reddit

Lately, none. I mostly just think water. I will say that I often use the little water flavoring mixes and some of those have caffeine in it.

[-]

therin_88@reddit

200-300mg

[-]

Hybrid487@reddit

I usually have one cup of coffee in the morning and maybe a Coke Zero or unsweeted iced tea with lunch or dinner.

[-]

Individual_Corgi_576@reddit

1.5 to 2 L of Diet Coke per day.

[-]

gonyere@reddit

Most days I have a cup of coffee in the morning. And that's it. Rest of the day I drink water, and occasionally a bit of juice.

[-]

ToxDocUSA@reddit

Most days zero. Twoish days per week I will get fatigued enough in the afternoon to chew a piece of caffeine gum with about 100 mg. Maybe once a month or every other month I'll have only a couple hours of sleep (insomnia + being on call for work) and drink a Celsius with 200mg instead of the piece of gum.

[-]

elonmusktheturd22@reddit

None. I have never had energy drinks, coffee, or tea. I have not had soda in many years, except on very rare occasions i may partake of an orange soda, which they have no caffeine in them.

Number_Fluffy@reddit

I usually end up around the max of 400mg.

None. I use to be a heavy consumer, but I stopped drinking soda and sweet tea, and can't stand coffee.

[-]

Elegant-Ad5705@reddit

3 cups of coffee and a C4

often_awkward@reddit

I turned out to be adult-diagnosed AuADHD so stimulants basically calm me down. That said, probably fractions of a kilogram.

KayBear2@reddit

300-600 mgs

About 1-1.5L tea made with 5-9g of dry tea, occasionally supplemented with 1 or 2 shots of espresso.

[-]

Mary_P914@reddit

Not as much as I used to. Maybe 45 oz a week.

[-]

ilovjedi@reddit

Not enough. I was drinking a quart of coffee a day (though with a lot of milk) so maybe three cups plus coffee or caffeinated soda. Sometimes more.

But now I have high blood pressure. (I had gestational hyper tension that never resolved even though I couldn’t stomach coffee while pregnant.) So I’ve cut down to two cups of coffee and I’ll be cutting back more. And now I have caffeine free diet soda and decaf tea.

[-]

blindside1@reddit

One 16 ounce cup of black drip coffee.

[-]

CasualVox@reddit

Between 600-800mg daily

[-]

ThrowawayMod1989@reddit

None. It’s the one drug I have no problem not doing. Last time I had any was because I got too deep on a kratom binge and couldn’t shit. That’s the only effect coffee has for me is “laxative.”

[-]

Crusoe15@reddit

Depends on the day, how much am I working? How many errands to I have to run in how small a space of time? How much sleep did I get!

[-]

classiest_trashiest@reddit

None. I’m on ADD meds so I can’t be double dipping 🤷🏼‍♀️

[-]

LeSkootch@reddit

I drink about 3/4 of a pot of coffee every day. Not all at once and I drink it iced. Usually one or two iced coffees before work, I bring one in a thermos for morning work sipping and then have one cup after dinner. I drink it black. Sleep like a baby, though. Caffeine doesn't get me wired.

[-]

Outlaw_Josie_Snails@reddit

I usually have one cup of coffee during the morning, especially during the winter.

If I'm home, I'll make a hot tea (green tea, oolong, etc.) and may have 2 to 3 small cups.

[-]

DesertWanderlust@reddit

Max 2 cups of coffee, and I cut myself off at noon. Any more or any later and I can't get to sleep that night.

[-]

kamakazi339@reddit

A ton of it

[-]

Trinx_@reddit

Work 3x 12s overnights a week. I drink 2-3 cans of diet coke during the shift. If I'm off work I usually have little to no caffeine unless I'm flipping my schedule. I used to have those controversial charged lemonades at panera - one large one per shift. Then I started having heart palpitations and decided to cut back. I was 34 at the time.

[-]

Poycicle@reddit

I drink one Celsius a day. That's 200mg

[-]

Winnipesaukee@reddit

5-10 cups of coffee a day.

[-]

Square-Friend-9219@reddit

About 20oz of coffee if it's not decaf. Caffeine only makes me feel that jitter of energy after taking a break from it. I make coffee just to dump creamer in it. Coke and Pepsi actually work better for me than coffee.

[-]

Independent-Dark-955@reddit

Until recently, one double espresso per day. I haven’t had any coffee for over a month though after a health issue. I don’t drink soda or energy drinks. I have been drinking a cup of black tea couple of times per week lately.

RectorAequus@reddit

I have a very large cup that says "I don't sweat, I percolate!"

It's true.

I have no idea how much caffeine I consume, but I can drink an entire pot of coffee in the two hours before bedtime and still be asleep withing minutes of my head hitting the pillow.

[-]

meganemistake@reddit

Between 0-100mg i figure?

100mg is only if I have both coffee and soda in a day probably? I mostly drink water though

[-]

Lovemybee@reddit

I (64f) limit myself to one Mountain Dew (54 mg caffeine) per day. I have always loved Mountain Dew, but I didn't always limit my consumption!!! When I was younger, it didn't matter so much. Now that I'm an old lady, I can't take that much caffeine!

macoafi@reddit

A 2-cup moka pot. (That's an espresso-sized cup.)

kamasutures@reddit

Very low. I have not treated my body well with a history of heart issues and now we are paying for it.

[-]

g00berCat@reddit

I do mostly decaf but I pull a ristretto shot with caffeine most mornings. So about 60 mg a day. I used to drink 3 or 4 cups with caffeine a day but found out that I had a lot fewer migraines after I cut back. Happier gut too.

[-]

d3ut1tta@reddit

In my early 20s, I may have drank 1-2 coffee's a day and they were always an iced red eye (iced coffee + espresso shot) and maybe a milk tea here and there, but by my mid 20s, I developed caffeine sensitivity and switched to iced decaf Americanos. I'm currently pregnant and shouldn't really be consuming much caffeine, but am seemingly consuming more than my mid/late 20s.

[-]

whippersnapper123123@reddit

I used to drink like 10 cups of coffee a day but weaned myself off as I was getting insane headaches without it. Now, 0-2 caffeinated drinks a day.

CommanderKrieger@reddit

Average of one white monster a day, maybe a soda for lunch. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Really just depends on what I’ve got going on that day.

Darth_Lacey@reddit

40-80mg of caffeine on a typical day. One or two cans of diet soda

[-]

LuckyStax@reddit

None. Already ADHD, and caffeine tends to make me tired.

[-]

fuzzyizmit@reddit

But i have a medical condition that is aggrieved by it. I miss it, though I wasn't a caffeine fiend when I could drink it. I never liked coffee, but I live tea, Chai and mountain dew. Now I drink caffeine free varieties (except for the pop because I cant stand sugar alternatives)

[-]

genericuser_12345@reddit

160-230 mg/day

200mg mostly. Sometimes, ill have a coke zero also. But not always. I have one energy drink around 930 am. Ill rotate between celsius, alani or the kirkland cold brew coffee can. Today I got a grande Americano from Starbucks which has 3 shots of espresso. Idk what else they put in that drink but I was WIRED until noon. Felt like the come up on ecstasy but none of the euphoria.

flyingbarnswallow@reddit

I’m a grad student with poorly managed ADHD, so my caffeine consumption depends a lot on a lot of factors. Right now my baseline is 16oz coffee in the morning and a cup of green tea in the afternoon. At the end of last term my baseline was 32oz coffee, but I was occasionally going as high as 48oz of coffee and a canned Yerba mate. That was bad for me.

Yes, I am considering getting evaluated for ADHD.

NevermindWait@reddit

About 400-600mg everyday. Mostly tea, coffee and the morning caffeine pill

I guess it might be in some food here and there in tiny amounts, but I don’t drink it. It makes me both uncomfortably restless/anxious (body) and extremely sleepy (head).

Neverendingwebinar@reddit

Two cups in the morning, a cup of coffee with lunch. Then two cups of tea for the afternoon, then I keep red bull in my overhead at the office. I take one with me when I leave for my night job.

The answer is yes. That is how much caffeine I drink.

For me it's one 12 oz cup of coffee in the morning. Usually 1 zero sugar monster, sometimes 2. And the occasional caffeine soda. Although most of the soda is caffeine free.

greetcloud@reddit

Two cups of tea worth.

zylpher@reddit

One Monster daily during my work week and I'm lucky if I finish it. The other 3/4 days I'm not drinking them.
