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.

    2 or 3 coffees a week is the most I can do before I start getting headaches. I can drink a tea every day for a week and a half and then I start getting headaches.

    I do one mug (technically equal to 2 cups) of decaf at home in the morning. When I occasionally visit the office, I consume 1 or 2 cups, depending on the time I arrive. If I arrive late in the morning, I only drink coffee after lunch. If I arrive earlier, I drink one in upon arrival and one after lunch.

    No decaf in the office, but I’m not dependent enough on caffeine to notice the difference when at drinking at home and at work.

    A pot in the morning if only I’m awake then half in the afternoon. I think a pot is five cups which is really two coffee cups.

    2 mugs of 10 oz dark coffee, black, extra strong. I’m currently moderating, trying to stick to that.

    I’ve found that k-cups have a similar advantage to soda cans when you want to moderate. You can’t fill up a super-mug and there is no pot/2L bottle to finish. Portion control is crucial

    I have 1, 10 ounce cup of black coffee around 7:30am every day. More than that I get jittery and have trouble sleeping. The last time I had an energy drink was probably 2019 and I could only have a couple sips of it before I felt like I was going to take off into the air.

    140mg daily within about 15 min of waking up by way of ZOA, which is like a seltzer drink, similar to Celsius but less caffeine and no aspertame which I have a sensitivity to.

    I pretty much stick between 100-200mg daily though, less and I feel like a zombie, more and my anxiety goes through the roof.

    I detest coffee. My caffeine intake is wholly sodas, specifically Coke Zero. It only has 34mg per 12oz, so I don’t get a lot of caffeine every day.

    Mostly only one cup when I wake up and that’s only because I like the taste as caffeine has no or the opposite effect on me. I drink some Redbull-like knockoff (boycotted redbull) every now and then, also just because I like the taste, can and often do easily go to sleep any time after.
