    How much caffeine do you take in during the day?

    Simple question? How much caffeine do you consume in a day?

    Used to be a lot, but now I don't drink anything with caffeine in it.

    Dunno how much is in the coffee I drink, but I generally have two cups in the morning and that's fine for me. Beans are roasted day of purchase (I get 1kg) and they last me a month, so more caffeine than supermarket stuff.

    I'm sure if I bothered to keep track of it I would be horrified.

    I want to do this but the headaches and fatigue just gnaw at my willpower and suddenly a nice hot black coffee sounds like liquid gold. Might try again at some point but I'll just stock up on painkillers.

    Just what's in the occasional chocolate I eat.

    About 3/4ths of a cup of black coffee. I have no idea how much caffeine that is.
    Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.

    Just, be kind.

    Most days none, some days I'll have a cup or two of green tea...every now and then if I'm really in the mood I may get some soda on shopping day.

    280-350mg a day, depending, roughly. But I also have a prescription; caffeine is the stimulant that's worked best for me in managing my ADHD. Need to keep it balanced at around 80-100mg every 3-4 hours or so, during the day, and I cut myself off after 9pm so it doesn't hurt my sleep. Wether it's a big cup of coffee or a soda, I take 4-5 doses a day, adjusting as needed; taking it in by drink rather than pill (which I've tried) makes it less "spiky" and easier to manage.

    Espresso in the morning and done. My family/friends are horrified when they hear about it.

    I was worried about that when I decided to stop drinking the stuff, but I hardly even experienced that, no clue why. I drank several cans of diet coke every single day from when I was about 9 or 10 until I was 26... Then I stopped. Didn't notice anything the first day, the second day I started having a pretty bad headache so I took some Advil and a nap. When I woke up the headache was gone and that was the extent of my 'caffeine detox' so to speak. Never had any additional headaches and felt no more fatigued than at any other time.

    Been about six months since then. All I drink now is decaf tea and water.

    Most days nothing. If I'm feeling really tired, 1 cup of coffee. However much caffeine that is, I don't know.

    No idea, I drink 2-4 cans of monster energy drinks every day.

    Anywhere between 80ish mg, 0mg, or one million mg.

    What day is it?

    Tea typically has 30mg per serving. Unless it's not tea, then I don't know what you're consuming.
