    I've had two double shot coffees so far today which is unusual for me but still feel like death.
    Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

        Typically get through 10 cups a day but have been known to drink more.

        Usually one at home before leaving for work, one every 90 mins or so in the office plus a bottle of caffeinated cola for lunch, three or four more at home in the evening.

        Been going like this for years so I guess I've built up some tolerance.

          I went to the doctor about a year ago with palpatations etc, thought it was a warning sign

          She asked how many cups i had a day, it was only about 3 or 4. she said i should try and cut back and see if that helped.

          Now, I'd found some nice instant coffee, it was columbian and I like my coffee strong, so i'd been self medicating with the coffee in the cup (pouring it straight from the jar)
          when i measured out what I'd been drinking in a normal dosage, it equated to 13-16 cups of coffee a day!

          I now use a spoon!

          weirdly though i can drink coffee right up till bed time and have no issues sleeping.

            I have to drink coffee (filter) in the morning if I want any sleep that night.

              No, but if I have one after about 9pm I spend all night getting up for a pee.

                  I have about 10 coffees a day doesn't seem to have any effect.

                  I do have to have at least a bottle of wine a night to get to sleep, but I don't think the two things are connected.

                    Are you sure it was chocolate ?
