"Among those drinking coffee daily, almost 80 percent drank two or more cups while at home on a weekday." https://www.statista.com/chart/19524/cups-of-coffee-d

  That doesn't prove everyone who drinks coffee is a chronic consumer. Caffeine doses are not binary, as in either you don't drink any coffee at all or are a chronic consumer otherwise. What about those who consume it in small moderation? Just because other people abuse it doesn't mean those who do not suffer the exact same negative effects in the same manner. Of course studies will mostly focus on the cronic consumers as those will generally show the biggest symptoms and will be easier to study and draw conclusions versus the non coffee consumers, but that doesn't mean everyone is chronic consumer.

    Those who consume it regularly, even in small amounts, are chronic consumers.

      > Those who consume it regularly, even in small amounts, are chronic consumers Not as defined in the study we are discussing, which labels "chronic consumers" those who take more than 200mg of caffeine per day.

        Thanks, that's an important point. Interesting way to define "chronic".

    It would help if you defined “chronic consumer” in this context, because consuming multiple cups of coffee a day certainly sounds chronic to me.

    It's a reasonable assumption, given how addictive, plentiful and socially encouraged coffee is.

  Cups is not telling a lot. Are those two espressos, americanos, or something else?

    I mean mostly they’re gonna be coffees

    Americano is espresso + water so I don't think that particular distinction will matter
