If it’s coffee/tea, how do you take it? I typically end up consuming 200-400 Mg a day depending on if I go to the gym or work overnight. I either do black coffee (iced ideally) or sugar free redbull/monster. I’m considering switching to caffeine pills but I know it wont scratch that habitual itch of drinking it down.
I like to boof a pot of coffee in the morning.
The silent majority has been real silent in this thread — but thank you for speaking up for proper technique.
I somewhat recently found out my SO thought boofing was just chugging. The revelation and explanation changed the meaning of a decade of jokes in an instant.
Hell yeah
Half-caf, three cups per day (about 150mg total).
That adds up to a caf and a half.
1.5 caf
Interesting move
Zero.
There are too few of us.
Also zero, for like 20 years now.
Maybe the occasional sip of coffee if I have a headache
I snort it directly off of my The Real Book
The most proper use for a Real Book.

Loose leaf tea, re-steeped several times over the course of the day. The caffeine content goes down with each successive stepping, but good quality whole leaves will still let you get several cups out of them.
I stop making it at 3, which usually gives me enough time to metabolize it and sleep normally.
Probably between 200-300mg. I would never do caffeine pills, as I enjoy my methods of caffeine consumption.
Typically, I’ll either drink a 2-cup moka pot, or some espresso. I never drink drip or French press coffee. Too bland. Turkish coffee is also good, but I don’t get that too often.
If not coffee, it’s usually Monster rehabs or Celsius. Tea is more for enjoyment than the caffeine content.
None anymore. It took me a while to realize the the most energetic and level headed people that I know in my life don’t even consume caffeine.
Caffeine addition keeps you permanently tired and getting the next hit just brings you back up closer to to the energy levels of people who don’t consume it.
It is hard as hell to quit because it is so addictive, but the other side is so much better…
This is not true for everyone
de nile is not just a river in egypt
And science is science
And caffeine is drugs
Don’t bother with the caffeine pills. My brother went through a phase where he was taking these like breath mints, but it was doing more harm then good.
If you feel like you need more caffeine than what coffee or soda provides, then you have a bigger problem that needs attention, and the caffeine is just a bandaid treating the symptoms of the deeper issue.
Yeah the pills would just be a replacement for the energy drinks that everyone says Will kill me.
How familiar are you with ADHD?
I don’t, I have a medical condition that can make people sensitive to caffeine and I am one of those people. I honestly appreciate not relying on a stimulant anymore. I had already severely reduced my intake prior to my condition and I don’t miss it. I sleep better and feel better in general without it.
Yeah if I didn’t work the weird ass swing shift I do I’d probably try to stop.
Not throwing shade, but caffeine is a crutch.
If you ditched it, it would suck for a few months sure, but then your brain will adjust.
I’ve been caffeine free for over 20 years. If I stay up super late, or wake up super early, I struggle for a moment, but then I’m fine.
Water is my go to in the morning.
Your body is so used to caffeine, that you’re literally medicating yourself for a condition you created for yourself. You need it in the morning on a weird shift, because you always use it in the morning on a weird shift.
Again, sorry for the rant, I just feel very strongly about this scientific fact.
Best wishes to you
Its tough for me because I don’t work a consistent schedule. I work in a 28 day cycle. In total 14 days off, 7 days of 7 am-7pm and 7 days of 7 pm to 7 am, all mixed up.
Same
I boof a couple cups of coffee in the morning then maybe an energy drink in the afternoon. I’m guessing 2-400 mg caffeine per day right up the bum.
I just eat chocolate occasionally :p
Love me some dark chocolate
On weekdays, one pot of coffee between 8-11.
Usually a caffeinated soda or two over the afternoon/evening.
Sensible
I’ve previously had a caffeine addiction and didn’t particularly enjoy it. So I make it a point to not have it daily. I’d say I usually have 1 small caffeinated soda with alcohol per week and a regular 8.4 oz Red Bull at some point during the week. So probably in total a little under 200 mg per week
The nice thing is that since I don’t consume much caffeine if I do want a kick I can have 120 mg and really feel it, but that’s usually reserved for particularly long days or days where my sleep gets messed up
A cup of coffee in the morning and 1 to 2 Celsius in the afternoon.
Whatever two big cups of black, strong coffee is.
