Hey everyone! Many people in the world drink coffee on a regulat basis. Some drink once or twice a day, some three or four times, and some drink coffee over 5 times a day. So, do you addict to coffee? How many times a day do you drink coffee? I think I'm quiet addicted. It's very difficult for me to pass the day without drinking coffee at least two times. What aboubt you?

I am far from a Coffee addict. I am actually Lucky if I drink more than one cup of Coffee a week on most weeks. I just do not find Coffee a big thing, and it actually makes me more nervous, etc. if I drink too much of it. But I do work with some that seem to constantly need a cup of coffee their whole shift and wonder who they can live like this. To me, that is a lot of Coffee.

Well i love coffee a lot.But then i cant call myself as a coffee addict becaue i am really not aditcted to coffee or tea, because i very rarely drink coffee every morning ritual of mine is not coffee or tea but i drink hot water with lemon and honey mixed for health benefits, or rarely i will go for green tea with basil leaves.But i do go for coffee with my sister sometimes to any god coffee bars near by which also offers variety of coffee with some assorted puffs or cookies once or 2 times in a month or so.

I love coffee. I also worked as a Starbucks barista making a wide range of fancy coffees. However, I don't consider myself addicted. This is because I love coffee, but only have it every now and again. At most I drink it once or twice a week. Some weeks I don't even drink it that much!

No, im not a coffee addict but I do drink coffee sometimes when im doing an something important. Some say to much coffee is not good for, so try to drink coffee just enough for you not that much, the good sides about coffee is that it is rich in antioxidants so drink coffee. Just do abuse it or you might get a nervous breakdown.hehehe. Coffee or not to coffee that is the question.

I have been really lucky in this regard. I never get addicted to things and the same is the case with coffee. Some students are under a psychology that drinking coffee helps you concentrate on your studies and helps you keep awake until late night to study. However, I think all these are just myths and hence I restrict my coffee in take to less than once a day, sometimes even a week!

I can't stand the stuff. The smell of it turns my stomach. And I can't bear the taste. So I am not an addict. As a matter of fact I think I may be allergic, because once a few years ago. A friend of mine had some flavored instant coffee, and It didn't smell horrible so I thought I would try it. I ended up puking for hours.

Oh In fact I also have a friend who can't stand coffee. I think it's better to hate that instead of being addict to that. Have a good day.

I drink about half a pot before leaving my house, Then I purchase one or 2 cups while out. Im slowly declining my coffee intake though, especially considering the seasons changing, I fear dehydration.

Don't get me wrong I love coffee but I don't drink it as often as I did when I had to work in the mornings. I used it as a jump start to wake me up now that I don't have to work I drink it for pleasure and that is only when I'm running around and doing stuff early or very late depending on when I need the pick me up for the things I'm doing. LOL!!!!

I am definately a coffee addict. The first thing I do in the morning is have my coffee. Strong and black. If I do not have my coffee first thing in the morning I have a terrible headache lasting for up to 3 days. I could not even guess by the cup how much I dink a day. I start in the morning and drink it until the night. I can drink it right up till I go to bed and still sleep at night. On top of drinking coffee that we brew at home me and my husband make several trips a day to Tim Hortons (coffee/retaurant) for their coffee as well. I do believe that anyone who drinks coffee at home all day like this and still spends on avaerage between 50 to 100 bucks a week on coffee out is an addict.

I like drinking coffee, too. Usually, I just drink one cup of coffee a day. Sometimes I drink twice or three times, but never more than four times.

i'm a coffee drinker too for 1 to 2 times a day. There's nothing wrong about drinking several cups of coffee,well that depends maybe, i don't know what's the scientific explanation of it, though. But just put in mind that everything that is too much is bad already. so, i think you can figure out yourself when you get too much of it.

I would not consider myself a coffee addict. I usually get one cup of coffee from Starbucks once or twice a week. I can live without coffee, but coffee is really good. I am trying really hard to make sure I do not get addicted because I know if I do then I will be hooked on it forever like most other people.

I'm a coffee addicted, I took coffee for 6 to 8 cups a day but when I got hypertension I reduced it to 3 cups a day and even avoided it as per doctor's advise. I have hot chocolate, milk tea and even ginger juice as my substitute but now am still craving for coffee. I have to go back to coffee in the morning and in the afternoon and the rest for my substitues drinks.

I can't get accustomed to the taste of coffee,so i seldom drink it.I will add milk into it when i have coffee. Many people want to get refreshed from coffee,but it really do harmful to our health if you drink it in the long run. I wish to be mom this year,so i won't drink any coffee anymore.

Yes! definitely. I cannot imagine myself living a day without coffee. And I think that way I can be considered an addict.

I like coffee too. But I never drink so much coffee one day. Everyday I only drink a cup of coffee , it can help me keep good spirit. A study said that ,too much coffee is bad for our body ,so I can not drink much coffee .But just like you ,I can not pass a day if I do not drink a cup of coffee!
