http://news.yahoo.com/s/a...ainhealthcoffeepsychologyLONDON (AFP) – People who drink more than seven cups of coffee a day tend to hallucinate more than less caffeine-driven colleagues, according to a study published Wednesday. 7? Lightweights.

No *feces*! 7?? *fudge*, I probably have 17. Just ask the purple Argentine Lake Duck wearing Lederhosen and speaking Mandarin Chinese who rides next to me in the truck on the way to work. |

 I'm at 1.5 cups/day these days. (except for Sunday brunch where they keep refilling my cup, so I'd guesstimate ~4 cups). Any more than that and I'm looking at heart palpitations.

Given that the stuff they brew in the break room at work is swill and there's nowhere close by my work to get a decent cup, on weekdays I only drink what I bring from home, which is usually about 10-12oz. It's not unusual for me to drink an entire pot on Saturday and Sunday.

Lederhosen and Mandarin - predictable. But the duck is purple - thats funny chit!  I gave up coffee for the most part (I cheat when I travel - time zones n *feces*) many years ago. I was hallucinating I was still awake at night. Years went by before I realized it wasn't a hallucination. |

So do they also take more LSD than other people? I'm confused.

I'm good for two cups of half-caff in the AM, and *maybe* a latte in the afternoon (although that indulgence has been cut back substantially of late).
Used to take in much more caffeine, but I've been making an effort to limit it somewhat. Plus, I have trouble holding the mug handles, what with my immensely long ring fingers and all.

We buy the beans whole, mixing caff and decaf in the bag. Dump into the grinder, put the bag under the outlet, and press GO. Half-caff.  (I secretly tried to trim it down further, but at quarter-caff, my wife noticed she was having two cups, then going to work and rushing to their break room for another cup or two. Busted!) |
