After resisting for years buying a coffee machine, I finally got one. At work I'm drinking 2-3 a day but staying at home all the time seems to make me drink more.
How much do you drink? What's your normal intake?

#5Zero. Probably an outlier. It doesn't do me anything.

#6Used to drink 6-10 cups a day, even one at bedtime.
These days, it's one or two in the morning for breakfast. I find I work better if I am more relaxed than if I'm wide awake. All-niters are a thing that is gone decades ago.

#7Since quarantine and WFH I'm pretty sure I've been overdosing. Earlier this week I was feeling anxious, jittery, and dehydrated. Detoxed from caffeine Wed-Fri and today (Sat) feeling much better. Will ease back into 1 cup a day and drink more water.

#8A piece of advice: Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it. Don't wait for it. Just let it happen. It could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot black coffee.

#10Not a lot. I'm not a huge coffee fan, I'll drink it if it's free and theres nothing else and occasionally I'll buy one, however.
