I drink my coffee in large cups that in a pinch have served as soup bowls.
I do three of those during the day, and then switch to a small cup in the evening to avoid a suggestion being gauche.
I am a dark roast kind of guy.
I’m gonna live forevah! Forevah! (until of course I don’t)
And of course everyone has a few of those big honkin' coffee mugs in their cupboard. Unless you are drinking out of one of the old style "Ozzie and Harriet" cups, most likely you're getting 12 ounces per play.
When I had a brass shop for a few years I would keep a pot on and easily did 4 or 5 a day until the migraines I had always had became more frequent and more severe. I read something that said that coffee could possibly cause that so I abjured the drink for a couple of years and voila! no more migraines. While on the highway a few years later and not able to stop for some shuteye I got a cup of coffee to keep me going and it woke me right up and did not result in a headache. Well, I drink 3-6 a day now and do get mild headaches that seem to be the same pattern as the migraines were but they are not so often and not terrible. I find out that migraines tend to ameliorate as you get older in some people.
I haven’t seen an 8 oz cup of coffee in years. Most now are 12, 16, or 20 oz in the convenience stores and the diners. When I make it now at home I make it one cup at a time and it is only about 3 oz but there is as much coffee in that 3 oz of water as in maybe a half a pot at the Waffle House.
Probably not.
Other people?
There is a possibility.
Don't come between me and my coffee.
The bass player in my old band was a coffee nut! Gigs in Cleveland were from 8pm until 2am. He drink a cup before he went home! Then get up and deliver mail the next morning! Postman!
Sounds interesting.
Probably 5 or 6 cups a day.
I'm 73 5'4" 120 lbs, 65/110 and feel very lucky at this point. No meds!!
Still drink whole milk....usually with cereal or graham crackers. Eggs every day, salad every day and lotsa protein....I mix it up...seafood, chicken, beef, pork.
No chips or soda.
Headline follows from what is a tautology for us mortals: Without X, we would die.
Coffee is healthy. What you buy as a coffee is just sugar and processed fat.
I like my coffee so strong it would grow hair on your chest.
There’s a reason the two are so good together :-)
I would expect that from a exnavy person.
At least 4 10oz. Mugs/day or I will probably die, haha.
“You actually would die without your coffee, research says”
Dear Researcher:
There are pretty good odds that you’re gonna die whether you drink coffee or not.
