How many cups of coffee is too many cups of coffee? Let’s talk ounces here to standardize it (sorry participants from outside the US…the metric system is on our to-do list I swear)
Coffee, similar to wine, only prevents cancer in large doses and you really can’t have too much of either. I recently substituted all of my water in take out for coffee and wine. I’m going to live to be 100.
I drink 4-5 cups a day…maybe that is bad…
16 - 20 oz
so much that i drink coffee before going to bed…
I stopped drinking coffee a few weeks ago. I figured that all that black particulate matter will probably have detrimental health effects over the many years that I am stuck working in this place…

2 keurig cups (like 16-20 oz) total to kick off my day, without fail. Once in a while will take a walk with a colleague or make another cup in the afternoon.
I stop at 3 cups. Sometimes it gives me nosebleeds. Weird but true.

In all seriousness, probably 16 oz in the AM and 16 oz in the PM on average.

I drink two 16oz cups a day. One directly when I wake up, another through the first hour or two in the office.

four to five 8 oz cups per day.
right now, i’m around 44-56 ounces per day. 12-16 (depending on my travel mug) on my way to work and then 4-5 8oz cups throughout the day. my worst times were while studying for L1 (lots of work hours) and L2 (just lots of studying), when i was measuring my consumption in pots. i was around 3 pots per day. so if each pot was around 4 10oz cups, that would put me at about 120 ounces. i think the coffee made me sleep poorly, which made me tired and thus drink more coffee. it was horrible i recently tried cutting down, but i ended up being extremely unproductive. once bschool apps are out, i’ll try again
12-16 oz in the morning…and if it’s a very long day at work (or when I start studying for level 3), I have a coffee after supper to get in the groove
2 cups of coffee per day only when I study for CFA exam.
In the Spring, when I was studying for L1 and doing classes, I probably drank a pot a day. 1/2 in the morning and 1/2 at night. Lately though, say the last 3 weeks, I haven’t had any since I moved and didn’t bring my coffee maker with me and I don’t have one at my new house. I bet it’ll wind up being a good thing that I don’t have it, at the rate that I consume coffee.
