I have caffeine every day.
Weekdays, usually I have a 24oz mug filled with strong coffee in the morning.
Then, around 11am when I get lunch, usually more coffee, sometimes tea, sometimes pop, and many times just plain water. (depends where I go)

Weekends, usually I'll drink 1 pot of coffee (8 cup pot.)

I love how coffee tastes, the caffeine is great too, but not my primary motivation :)

A buddy of mine used to drink a pot of coffee a day. He's lost 10 pounds the past 4 months and all he did was get rid of his daily coffee, nothing else.

i have tried to cut out sodas and just drink water and beer now, lost about 15 lbs that way (since june 24th when i started). sometimes i slip up and drink OJ but anyways caffeine never did anything for me. i could drink a redbull and still sleep but it would give me a headache if i went 2-3 days without it but i finally got over that.

not dependent. in fact even weak coffee gives me the jitters, quite unpleasant...

Shitty polls. I consume 0-2 servings a day. Most of the time its zero, but sometimes I drink some coke or even take a caffeine pill.

I see how the world is hopelessly addicted to it so I stay away from it. I have never had an energy drink and what I drink soda which is very rare, I drink root beer or sprit.

I'm trying to not make it TOO much of a habbit, but I have an extra large french vanila, hot chocolate or apple cider in the morning. I kind of rotate between those three for variety. I'm not a coffee person so I don't drink coffee. Tried it and did not like it.

I start at 7:00am so I really need that sugar boost. I sometimes even add sugar to my existing sugary drink.
