About 2L (8 cups) of coffee, sometimes with an additional Venti brewed coffee from Starbucks.

At that volume, yes it's an essential part of my life as I'm physically dependent on it (if I skip a day I get headaches & nausea).

Do I wish I drank less? I've quit several times in the past. My life was no better. I really do feel like it boosts my productivity.

I love the smell of coffee but have never got into drinking it. I drink tea occasionally. I usually have 8 cups of water each day & maybe a soda.

I do feel a buzz from drinking soda and can imagine I'd get the same from coffee.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Percocets are amphetamines?

Hm. /me googles a bit. Not quite sure to be honest - I can't find any evidence of it: maybe I've got the terminology wrong or I was on another pill altogether. Will check my prescription :)

Maybe it was Adderall, Ritalin or something like that?
