Ever since going in the hospital and cutting out sugary drinks completely - yea, I find myself drinking coffee as a go to.
Probably not the greatest thing for me (caffeine) - but not much is “good” for you.
I would say I’m 4-6 cups a day - one at wake up, a 2nd before work - 1 after work with dinner and usually another during the day - more if it’s a particularly stressful day.
I’ll still do a Diet Coke - but maybe half a 20 ounce bottle a day. Prior to surgery - I was easily on the 3 cans a day of colas.
Make no mistake - coffee is addictive - just like colas, cigarettes, booze or whatever. I got hooked early - long hours and surrounded by the stuff. Fact that I had sales people/promo guys giving me the latest/greatest flavors to try free didn’t help.
