how much is normal?  per day? 

and at what point do you start attending CA (coffee anonamous)

oops just spilt on my keyboard........

 For me, just a single cup in the morning to get the day going, then I'm fine.

 I usually have 2 or 3 cups before I get to work, where I have about 3 or 4 more before lunch.  After lunch, maybe 2 or 3 more.  But it's not an addiction...I can stop drinking it anytime I want...honestly.  I could stop right now.  Well, right after this cup...

Depends on the size of your prostate and your proximity to indoor plumbing. :-)

 You can drink as much coffee at work as long as you do not,

1. Get headack at weekends.

2. Get headack at holidays.

Several years ago, I recognize I got headack at my first days at holiday, and I get rid of it after one or two cupes of coffee.

I personally bill my jobs by coffee consumption.  In theory there are jobs as low as 1 coffee per day, but eight is more usual.  In fact I've never billed a 1 cup/day job.

(Sometimes I just can't help myself)

any editor here not a coffee drinker?  is that even possible?

Ever think about what might happen if they were to make sugar and caffeine controlled substances?  OOOOOOOOOOOOO!! 

The last director I worked drank like it was water.

I personally have 3 espresso's during a day.

But it's really not to keep me up.

Anybody watch 60 mins on sleeping?

 Coffee what a good idea

 10 years ago I was drinking something like 12 mugs a day.....I now drink about 5...... And no headaches on days off......that's because I drink more coffee on days off.

do avid still sell those avid coffee mugs?  now thats what i need :)

perfect combination.    Avid...  powered by coffee
