    Rest of the year, 6 - 8 per day.
    Hangover day, 12 - 15.
    No coffee, it's stinking stuff.

    Around 5 cups of tea, give or take. A little less in summer.

    I don't drink coffee, it makes me throw up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,827 ✭✭✭fussyonion


    Around 6 cups of tea a day. Love the stuff.

    I used to drink one coffee in the morning but I lost my taste for it and now I rarely drink it. (Sucks in a way as I was given a coffee machine as a present a few weeks back!)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,459 ✭✭✭LizzieJones


    2 cups of tea per day in the warmer months. More in winter.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 430 ✭✭Pablodreamsofnew


    3-4 cups of coffee and 5 cups of tea and two cups of decaf tea before bed.

    Tea contains Tannin which prevents the absorption of Iron into the system. It is
    unwise,therefore,to consume more than
    3 cups per day.

    As a bloke I see this as a good thing. Men who give blood have fewer heart attacks, one theory being that the reduction in iron on a regular basis is beneficial. It may be one reason why women have fewer fatal heart attacks because of their menses. A genetic prevalence to excess iron build up is quite common in Irish men and has badcardiovascular implications. Oh and drinking tea promotes longevity. Chicorytip 0, Tea 1.

    Plus I eat a lot of bloody steak so Iron ain't no problem on my part.

    I drink lots of tea. With milk, or black, or green. All stewed until the glaze on the mug is in danger of being eaten away. Amount? 10 cups per day I'd reckon.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.
