I’m Addicted to It!
January 13, 2006Most health professionals consider four cups of coffee a day to be a moderate amount, but experts confirm that 500 - 600mg of caffeine per day (6 cups of fairly strong coffee) is quite safe for most people from a general health point of view. Naturally, this will vary from person to person and depend on what sort of coffee you drink. [Source]
It all started with one cup everyday, two if I have a final exam and know that even if I stayed up all night I will still not finish the studying material. However, in the past few weeks, I’ve started to consume 3, 4 and 5 cups daily!! It is not that I’m addicted by the way, because sometimes it is only one cup in the moring and that’s it. You know why? It is because when I’m busy I do not have time to get a drink, I sometimes (ok many times but don’t tell anyone) forget to eat. Now that the last few weeks we had holidays and I was done with end-of-year work madness, I find myself heading to the kitchen, like a robot, washing my mug, first adding milk then nescafe, stirring a bit then going back to whatever I was doing.
On a second thought, when I can actually remember, I always need to drink something whether it was nescafe or minted tea it doesn’t matter but nescafe almost always available.
