What's the typical caffeinated-beverage consumption for a News.YC reader? I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but I'll down 4-6 cups of tea on a normal weekday.

Just stopped drinking it 3 weeks ago.

Switched to caffeine pills here.

1. Easier to keep intake from growing out of control.

2. Easier to keep caffeine levels steady since the pills take less time and effort than making more coffee and the dosage is very consistent. No unexpected crashes.

3. Teeth/mouth.

One tea if I didn't sleep enough. Sometimes 2. A thermos or 2 of green tea (one teabag per thermos) for all nighters/cram sessions.

2 cups coffee to wake up in the morning and 2 cups to stay awake in the afternoon.Sometimes I replace it by tea. I'm still sleeping well in the night :-)

Too much... My goal is to quit, but while having to keep regular office hours it is very hard. That's why for my next contract I'll try to avoid "bodytime".
