As an undergrad, I used to average about 15 cups, at that level your tolerance is high enough that you need 2-3 cups to feel anything. Of course, it's commonly claimed that Voltaire drank at least 40 cups a day[1]

- nitwit005 7y ago40 cups sounds like it's pushing the limits of what you can drink.
- gdcohen 7y agoMaybe the cups were smaller in those days :-)
- bradknowles 7y agoWhat’s really relevant is the amount of caffeine per cup and the total amount of caffeine per day, not the amount of cups or the size of cups.
- nitwit005 7y agoThe size of the cups matters because you can only drink so much fluid in a day. Even 40 small cups is a lot of liquid.
