I kid I kid. No but really, coffee is my fuel. About 3 cups a day.

#3All resources I've ever read argue that coffee is super helpful. Probably, I'm a sort of outliner. I drink no more than 1 cup of coffee per day and in 5 years this habit has gifted me with painful heartburns and chronic gastritis.
Initially, I started consuming coffee only because my mom has Parkinson's disease and coffee is supposed to have preventive properties. I'm afraid I will end up with ulcer sooner than I will live to Parkinson's onset.

#4I never really got into it.
To me it's the same as alcohol, I'm happy not to have a taste for them.

#8I've started drinking coffee just in the last 1 - 1.5 years and I am not really sure how I feel about it. On one hand, I love the boost that it gives me in the morning to get into the zone fast. On the other hand, I am completely useless without it.
I also wonder if it doesn't decrease my attention span.

#9I find tea provides a longer, better modulated boost, without the gastrointestinal distress or bad breath.

#10I started drinking coffee in highschool, 7 years ago, but I only drink on the weekdays. I rarely drink coffee on weekends, and if I do it's an afternoon treat. There are obvious mornings where I need coffee to function and kickstart my day, but I really just enjoy the taste of coffee... Oh and it keeps me warm in the cold office.
Edit: ~3-5 cups a day
