Not coffee, but, I had a similar experience with Coca Cola a few years back. I went from drinking 1.5-2L a day[1] to none[2]. Of course, I dropped caffeine and picked up sugar instead (turns out, its really cheap to grab a Brita filter and a large jug of sugar flavored like Iced Tea to mix into water..).
Now, its slightly more balanced. I try to only have sugar or caffeine when I'm not at home.
1. A glass when I came home from school (around 1:30-2pm), a glass when having a snack (around 4:30pm), and a glass at dinner (around 7pm)
2. My college has a deal with Pepsi -- none of the dining halls have Coca Cola and there is only one or two vending machines that have it on campus.
- proee 16y agoInteresting, I ran through the numbers and 2L of Coke is about the same caffeine as two cups of 12 oz coffee.
- Zev 16y agoHuh. Didn't realize it was that much. I thought it was only equal to 1-1.5 cups of coffee/day. Thanks for doing the math!
- proee 16y ago2 Liters of Coke has 300mg of caffeine. That's right about 4 shots of Starbucks espresso, one 16oz cup of Starbucks drip brew, or two regular coffee (non starbucks) drip brew.
