tea and coffee consumption

[essexmum]

Is there a limit to how many cups of tea or coffee we can drink in a day?

I have had 3 cups of watered down black coffee today and was wondering if there is a limit. It's the first time I've drunk black coffee in years as I'm normally a tea drinker, but couldn't face black tea, but obviously don't want to over do it.

Thanks

Do not know enough to know what CD says on this.I am sure a CDC willbe around to let you know.
But I still drink as much as i did before CD which is loads about 6 large mugs a day.
Sorry I can not help more.

There is no limit.

However, Cambridge suggest you do not have more than you would normally, because of your body not being used to the caffeine levels.

I remember getting a 'sick' high when I was SSing in the early days and thet was because I over did the coffee.

Apart from that, you are fine.

Good luck

True. But for me, it's not quite the same. It's like having low alcohol beer - pointless

And not in the early days. I think the book suggests you just carry on as normal.

It does Karion. This is to prevent withdrawal symptoms (i.e. headaches etc)

I've definitely had caffeine high!! OMG not good And no, don't switch to caffeine free in the initial stages as it's too much of a shock for your system
