How much caffeine do you consume a day?

[johnsemlak]

My life is one caffeine shot to another...

Seriously, I dont' think I drink too much. two-three cups of instant coffee a day.

Hmm, I wonder how Mountain Dew stacks up against 'regular cola'. I know I drink on average 100 oz. a day. I don't drink, don't smoke, so I always figured it was a habit I could live with.

6-8 cups before noon...

My 4 food groups: caffeine, carbonation, sugar, and preservatives

I don't drink, don't smoke, so...

Arrgghh! If I see one more 80s song reference on these boards...

And Adam Ant, at that. diaglo, you have no shame!

I've read that caffeine is actually good for brain functioning.

Depends on the soda. If it's cola then I'd say 30 mg.

A standard soda can (in the U.S. at any rate) is 12 oz., which is 45 mg according to the chart. Overseas the cans tend to be a little bit smaller.

Two mugs of tea a day, about 500 by the chart apparently

OTOH, I read a few years ago about the wonders of caffinated water -- goes by such commercial names as AquaJoe and H2Joe. I laughed over this and told my roomies, who were both serious caffiene junkies, almost on the 2-pot-a-day level.

Their eyes got wide and excited over the thought of this stuff

So when I found some, they demanded to know where.

They bought the stuff

Then they brought it home and make espresso...

I stayed away for the next 6 hours for them to calm down a little...

Really depends on whether it's American Mountain Dew, or the Canadian version. The Canadian version has no caffeine in it at all - and yes, there's literally no reason to drink it up here because of that.

Yeah, my wife, bless her heart, bought me a case of Caffeine Free Mountain Dew recently. Seems kinda pointless. Except that I've actually grown accustomed to its taste now.
