Ask HN: about coffee

- Do you drink coffee? How much and why? - What effects does it have on you? - Did you know that over 50% of Americans drink between 3-4 cups a day?

Personally I find it can work wonders when I need to squeeze out some work I really don't feel like doing... But I don't rely on it, I always try and take a few days to a week to detox once in a while. Also I'm a little concerned how it's affecting my weightlifting.



I drink coffee on weekends with breakfast, I only have 1 cup so it doesn't have as much effect as something like 3 or 4 cups would, but I must say I have had 3 cups and I get really shaky and overly inattentive.

I do drink black tea though during the week about 3 times a week around 5 o-clock and it usually offers a pretty big boost when I'm feeling tired. I mostly just like the taste though.


Yes. Average half a cup a day. I like the taste. It doesn't have any effect on me apparently. Didn't know that.


Not really. Modafanil seems to work better and have fewer side effects.
