It seems to affect different people differently. I grew up in a house where coffee consumption was measured in pots, not cups, and consequently, I like to drink 5+ cups / day.
I usually give up caffeine completely for a month each year just to see if I'm actually addicted; I've not had the experience of the author.
- rmason 6y agoWorked with a laborer who would drink an entire pot of coffee before 10 am. I have no idea what his total consumption was but it was extremely high. Myself, I can't stand the taste of coffee so I've never tried it. He got a job at a pawnshop years after I left that particular job. He was at work talking to a customer one day, had a massive heart attack and died at age 39.

- burnett2k 6y agoGenetics are a significant factor in how you metabolize caffeine. Some people can have a cup right before bed and be find. Others, won't be able to sleep the entire night. Maybe you metabolize caffeine quicker or something
- justinko 6y agoYep. 23andMe states I am “less likely to consume caffeine”, which correlates with my caffeine sensitivity. I still consume it though.
