I drink coffee once or twice a day also because of the anti-oxidants, but It keeps me awake when I drink it 5 hours before I got o bed, so as much as possible I only drink coffee in the morning or late afternoon.

When people say they have coffee 3 or more times a day I wonder how much they really mean? Are they talking about a mug full of coffee or a small cup. I have a half a tablespoon of Folgers instant coffee almost everyday. I enjoy it but I could not imagine having that amount 3 or more times per day. I think that would be bad for me.

Yes coffee is an antioxidant but the caffeine will make you more nervous. Too much coffee will give you constipation and an acidic stomach. It will make you sleepless which will give you headache. It is true that coffee has benefits for our body but too much might kill you.

Disadvantage? ARe there any!?! lol... just kidding. I know drinking too much isn't good. I actually talked myself out of the fourth pot today since I really do want to sleep tonight! I know the caffeine can be harmful, but only if we indulge way too much. I don't think there are any other possible disadvantages.

Coffee has its disadvantages, however it also has its corresponding advantages when taken moderately. If you want to stay alert especially during crucial task, then coffee is for you. Coffee has been known to be an energy booster. If your feeling dull and sleepy, coffee could surely keep you awake and lively. However. it has been told that coffee has a tremendous side effects. It was closely examine coffee content which is caffeine. Caffeine is said is a stimulating alkaloid and caffeine is rich in trigonelline. Caffeine has enormous health benefits. However it is said that anything in excess is already bad. Just drink coffee moderately.

Hi whitestich, I like to have coffee in the morning. Recent analysis, coffee contains fiber and well as antioxidants too also it protects heart too. But having too much coffee is also dangerous to health. Have a wonderful time.

i don't know exactly the bad effects of coffee. i am sure you can find it online. but for what i remember or know it dries our skin. so for skin conscious coffee should not be taken often. i often drink coffee only when i feel bored. but when i don't feel bored at home i don't drink coffee. so i often drink coffee lately daily for about 3 times a day. that is how bored i am at home as i just stay at home most of the time as i am not working for now.

I don't really drink coffee regularly. i had an experience of having hyper acidity when I tried drinking coffee that I drank 3 mugs of coffee a day. I think it has bad effects in our bone.
