I started drinking coffee. I don't ever want to get to a point where I NEED it. Currently I am drinking about 8 oz a day, but I find myself wanting more througout the day (though if I miss a day it's not a big deal). How much coffee can I drink without getting hooked?
Yeah, good question. I found that I did need it, but denied that fact until just recently, and now trying to stop. It started as coffee every other day, then to every day, then adding an extra shot, then having it twice a day sometimes.
If your erection lasts more than 4 hours, call your doctor. This is likely too much coffee.
i am addicted to coffee. got started in college. i found i really enjoyed having a cup of coffee before indoor track races.
once i got a job - i'm a teacher - i started drinking coffee every day. a cup in the morning at home every day, then it was another at work once i got there, and the guys i coach with brew a pot in the coaches' office before xc/track practice. so over the course of a workday i probably drink 3-4 cups. on the weekends it's a cup or two in the morning, that's it.
during the week, it's necessity - i probably sleep 6 hours on an average night, so as the work week goes on i need it more and more. on the weekends it's more of a ritual that i enjoy. this morning was the first snowy morning of the winter - for some reason, it just tastes better when it's cold and snowy outside. kinda like kids and hot chocolate.
i think i have too much, but i haven't experienced any health issues as a result - my lifestyle of fatigue is unhealthy, but i doubt the coffee is. i have had stretches during which i've successfully cut back, and have had headaches from that. i've been checked out by a cardiologist (not for the coffee, for other stuff) and i'm prefectly healthy, and i've been a hard coffee drinker for 6 years. of all the bad habits to have, drinking coffee is hardly one of them.
I've actually been wondering the same question. I used to be okay with just one cup in the morning each day, but since graduate school started this semester, this daily amount has now increased to an average of 4-5 cups a day.
I have 6-8 large (~16 oz.) cups of coffee a day. That is too many. I really need to cut back.

hahahaha. Watch out for caffeine psychosis. Yes, it actually exists... check it out on Wikipedia.
get a hiatal hernia, that will cure your addiction.
There's no such thing as too much coffee. Just keep drinking it.
i am 22 years old and drink a pot of coffee in the morning finishing my last bit in atravel mug heading to class. i would not be able to operate without it. i actually like going to sleep usually thinking about how nice the coffee will be in the morning. i have had cetain side effects that i feel are from the coffee. for about 4 months strait i would stay up 2 days then crash and sleep one nihgt successfully. i thought i had a real problem but then it went away. i think diet coke is more addicting then coffee. since my junior yearin highschool i would drink massive amount of diet coke. my freshman year in college i was drinking 4-8 litres of diet coke a day coffee has actually helped me to drink less diet coke. i drink 3 cans of diet now following my pot of coffee in the morning. i think the more caffiene you consume the less it effects you and maybe one cup of coffee may e rough on a newbie a pot to someone else is required to stay regular. its also good for lowering blood sugar and helps fend offdiabetes. :) drink up
4 to 8 litres a day!!!!!!
