    I drink a lot of coffee each day! I have a 20 oz latte in the morning, and then about 3 cups during the day at work, and sometimes 1 when I get home. How much do you drink each day?

    well, I mostly drink tea but chimed in anyway!  I had wayyyyy more during finals, but I am trying to cut back and am now down to one small chai latte in the morning (made at home) and one tea bag in a thermos after lunch, but I have been steeping it less and less to get over my addiction!

    I drink a huge travel mug in the morning (probably the equivalent of three cups) and that's it for the day. I would drink more if my office coffee wasn't absolutely foul.

    Usually either nothing or one cup in the morning.  I try not to drink it everyday because I don't want to become too dependent on caffeine.

    I love coffee. Yummy.

    I have a 12-oz cup every morning in a starbucks thermos on the way to work, but that's it. Unless I get a crazy latte craving. I definitely need a cup, but more so than that, I enjoy having my cup in the morning. It's like starting off my day with the right foot. It tastes so good...warms me up...yummy. But when I sleep in on Saturdays, I don't always have a cup. It's like an incentive to get my lazy butt outta bed =]

    There should be an other option.

    I'll gladly go through a pot a day for a week, and then not touch the stuff for a month, and then have a few cups a day, and then "eh, not today"...

    I'm not a slave to caffeine, thank heavens. I just like the taste of coffee.

    I don't drink coffee. I've never been able to enjoy the taste. I'm a tea person myself! Mmm, tea. Yummy. I usually have a cup or two a day, especially in the winter. Green tea makes me feel healthier, too.

    I make a pot of coffee every morning (up to the 6 cup mark) then maybe one more halfway through the day or at night....I try to limit it but I just absolutely love coffee. 

    ashleyjane: drink coffee with a straw, I have been doing that since college (i am now 25) and my teeth are still good as new...with the help of crest white strips of course...but overall, the coffee doesn't stain my teeth!

    At least one cup in the morning, sometimes more.  Up until recently, caffeine didn't affect me if I had it late in the day, but now I have to go to bed earlier to get up for a 9-5, so I try to not drink any after 3.  Boring, I know.

    Ususally just one cup in the morning. Now that I'm unemployed I don't drink it every day. But oh man, when I was working I was a hot mess until I had my coffee.

    Do you girls put anything in it? I hate straight black coffee, so I use some powdered sugar-free caramel/vanilla creamer and skim milk. I looove flavored coffeeeee :)

    1 TB powdered creamer

    2 packets equal

    1 oz flavored syrup, like vanilla (my #1 fave) or pumpkin pie, sugar free

    Splash of milk so it's just cool enough to drink in the car.

    What can I say? i like my coffee a very specific way.

    I like flavored coffees mostly but if I could have it whenever I wanted, it would be in the morning and then before class at night so twice a day.

    None! I drive my coworkers crazy enough as it is, they'd probably kill me if I had caffeine. Mr. KM usually has a cafe au lait 3x a week but mostly sticks to diet coke and chai.

    I usually have one cup a day but I'm trying to cut back to just weekends. Not only does it make me a little jittery but my beloved Coffeemate Vanilla Caramel Creamer=unecessary calories. Trying to cut back where everywhere I can.

    I voted 4-6, since I have a quad shot venti skinny vanilla latte every morning, and I think 4 shots of espresso = 4 cups? I have some serious restraint these days, since in college I was drinking about 4 quad shot drinks a day. Having an espresso machine at home was bad news for me!

    None. I like a drink from Starbucks every now and then, but caffeine is sooooo not worth it every day. The last thing I want to drink daily is an addictive diuretic that yellows my teeth and makes my heart race...bleck!

    Normally it's a cup while getting ready in the morning and then one on the way to class or clinicals. And then another during my mid-morning break. Though lately with finals, I've been drinking 5ish cups a day.

    Zero! I've had maybe 2 sips of coffee in my lifetime & I've never liked it! I just don't like the taste... same goes for iced coffees & smoothies! To perk me up in the AM I have a huge glass of ice cold water :) It works- I swear!

    My husband and I are like the only grad students at our school that don't drink coffee.  We bonded over that fact when we first started dating.

    I voted none. I would say I have maybe 2-3 coffees/month (unless I am at my parents house then maybe 1-2/day because they always have good coffee on hand!). 

    I really like coffee but when I was first in law school I started drinking 2-5 cups/day and the first day I went without it I got a bad headache and dizzy! I decided to not make it a part of my routine anymore. I will get an occasional starbucks (like tonight. mmm) or when I'm home and there is coffee brewing I'll drink it. But, I don't make it at home hardly at all anymore and I'm way too cheap to go buy coffee with any regularity.

    I voted 4-6, but I don't drink that much coffee, I am a Red Bull(sugar-free) drinker, at least 1-2 per day during finals, plus a Coke or two, and maybe a double espresso Laughing and still fall asleep at any time. Dental school is the worst! Normal days, 1-2 of either a Red Bull, Dunkaccino+Espresso or Coffee+skim milk.

    Caffeine contributed to my vertigo so I had to get rid of it entirely. Can't say I miss it much. I'm more of a tea girl and peppermint tea is where it's at! :)

    I can't believe how many people don't drink coffee! It is totally THE norm in industry. But, I was one of the few in college who had to have a cup every day (my roommate liked coffee too, lol). I have mine down to 100 calories/cup.

    BTW, if you take care of your teeth in general, they won't stain them. My teeth are VERY white and I drink coffee every day. But, I drink water quickly after, too (8 cups/day) which helps rinse them off and I brush diligently every am and pm with an electronic brush.

    I do love tea, though, too! I drink lots of herbal tea. Yum.

    I eliminated coffee because of my winning combination of IBS/endometriosis. Because waking up is so miserable for me, I've had to block out 20 extra minutes just to adjust and do nothing in the morning.

    Jealous of you wired ladies :)

    I had to ban all caffeine out of my diet due to medical problems so I'm a strictly caffeine-free tea gal now. I hate life in the mornings but I guess you gotta do what you gotta do...
