Post by: shiftedShapes on October 22, 2007, 05:21:00 PM: for you guys who are drinking coffee all day, is your energy level very high, is it higher than before you started drinking coffee, or do you need the caffeine just to get you to your previous baseline.

Thanks

Post by: rocket on October 22, 2007, 05:23:43 PM: I don't know how much but I know that it is way too much and that sometime during my life I will need to step away from the stimulants and stand on my own two feet.
Title: Re: How much caffeine do you ingest each day?
Post by: 240 is Back on October 22, 2007, 05:28:14 PM: I used to be on 2 caff pills a day, plus about a 2-liter of diet dr pep.

My last checkup, I admitted it to my doctor, and he tore me a new one.

I drink maybe 1/2 a 2-liter of soday daily now. Also I might chistle 1/4 a caff pill now and then (when I stay up til 4 am playing a show then back up at 7 am with the rugrat).

Caffeine is awesome - but you do need it to return to a baseline. It's a great feelig every morning - but you do become addicted. Since quitting it, life has improved greatly for me. Your blood vessels constrict when you take caffeine for years (I had taken it twice daily for over 2 years). I feel a lot better now that I"m off it. (for the most part - I still get 200 mg a day spread out.)

Post by: rocket on October 22, 2007, 05:35:42 PM: I don't really have a problem with caffeine so much as I have a problem in that I really really like coffee (don't say decaf)
Title: Re: How much caffeine do you ingest each day?
Post by: BFP on October 22, 2007, 05:36:48 PM: 400-600mg per day. 2 no doz and a coke or 5 a day.

How many mg?

And how much from soda/coffee, how much from those Vivarin pills?

The equiv. of 200 mg via ripped fuel or hydroxy cut type of tabs twice per day and 2-3 diet cokes, now that I am on an actual diet program.

Post by: 250Ben250 on October 22, 2007, 07:31:22 PM: Deezamn and I thought I had it bad for 3-4 cups of coffee's worth a day.

I haven't tried this yet but its gotten great reviews -

Basically you can lower your stim intake and get a better effect, or cut it out all together and be back to baseline faster than you would otherwise.

Statistically, Canucks take in more mg of Caffeine daily than any other country. . . ;D
Title: Re: How much caffeine do you ingest each day?
Post by: Rimbaud on October 23, 2007, 03:20:53 AM: On average maybe two cups of coffee a day plus a half gallon of iced tea (usually decaf but sometimes not).

Post by: mental_masturbator on October 23, 2007, 04:04:06 AM: I have 2 small cups of coffee a day. ~6 oz french pressed cups of Kenyan AA have forever spoiled me. Guatemalan is great too. Sometimes I'll do instant in emergency situations. Thanks for caring...
Title: Re: How much caffeine do you ingest each day?
Post by: pac-man on October 25, 2007, 09:18:55 AM: I always wondered how much caffeine is too much.

It is not uncommon for me to down 200mgs of caffeine in one form or another every 4 hours that I'm up. Sometimes my day starts at 3am and doesnt end until 9 at night. I try not to have this much everyday though it does happen from time to time.

Anyone know the long term effects?
