Too many.
Probably in the 25-35 range.
I only had one Diet Mt. Dew and one Red Bull today and I passed out on the sofa after work.

I drink approx 3 coffees per day, and 1-2 Diet Coke's so 5 a day minimum. I'd guess 35-40.

Oh sometimes I'll have maybe two Dr. Peppers a week.

So I guess I'm at a max of maybe 5 per week.

But I don't drink coffee, and I know I'm in the minority here.

Large coffee at work everyday and usually at least 1-2 caffeinated sodas around lunch.

My last coffee was Tuesday, and I ran out of caffeine soda at the apartment. Trying to drink more water, so I dropped it altogether. Yesterday had a major headache and this evening its kinda coming back. Hate being addicted to shit.

Between meals:
{
I drink a gallon(from sams club) of Cranberry + Apple|Blueberry|Null every two weeks

I drink 1/2 gallon milk every two weeks. (I usually have to pour 1/4th out due to expiration)

I drink water directly from the faucet without a cup as many times as I can per day.
}

With Meals
I drink a soda with every meal, usually sierra mist or root beer.


If I need energy I drink Mountain Dew, Sunkist so that the caffeine has more of a punch. That occurs from 0 to 2 times a day.


So to answer your question: I drink from 5 to 14 caffeinated beverages/week

not many, if any... I'll have 1, maybe 2 5-hour energy drinks, but I don't really get on the caffeine train

I don't like coffee (makes me sick to the stomach), and soda's are really only for mixing drinks in my house

I have the occasional Coke, or Sweet Tea...but that's maybe once a week or less. However, I drink probably multiple cups of coffee a day. So easily 20+ for the week.

I already answered but I'm going to make an itemized list:

1 Diet Coke at 8:40am on way to work*
1 Cup Coffee at 9:00am at work
1 Cup Coffee at 1:00pm at work
1 Cup Coffee at 4:00pm at work
1 Diet Coke at 6:30pm at home*
1 Diet Coke at 7:30pm at home

I always drink three coffees a day at work, and I'm pretty much a lock for one diet coke, the other two cokes are contingent on supply and demand.

12oz diet mountain dew for lunch
~40 of diet coke or diet mountain dew for lunch
preworkout drink with 200-600mg caffeine.

it gets a lot worse when I'm travelling a lot - sodas get replaced with energy drinks every 2 hours.

I honestly drink maybe one can of caffeinated soda maybe once a month. In the past year or so I've really been trying to drink more water. I've always hated the taste of coffee and tea, so the only time I ever even have caffeine is if I'm staying up for a midnight movie showing or something. I'll drink Sprite, Ginger Ale, or root beer maybe once a week but they aren't caffeinated.

Probably 30 ish like you qntm. I buy a 12 pack of generic soda at HT each week and I keep three different types of caffeinated mints on my desk (hooray multipacks on amazon). This is the only thing keeping me awake when I work for more than 8 hours in a given day, and hell it's usually the only thing keeping me awake on a normal day. Brain-draining work requires this kind of shit so I can keep focused on all the little errors that I catch each day.

I drink at least 1-2 cups of coffee per day at work plus probably 1-5 diet sodas per day depending. I'd say anywhere between 8-30 in a week depending. Pretty wide range, really depends on how long I'm at work.

I have between 4 and 8 per week. Unfortunately they have the energy vitamin water at work which has caffeine. I drink one of those most mornings. And then on occasion I'll have some coffee or a diet soda. Preferably cherry coke zero or diet cherry Dr. Pepper. Those are like treats or desert to me

somewhere between 3 and 10

depends on how many times I get fast food (I always get sweet tea) and how much vodka I drink (RED BULL)

To expand on this...I'm trying to cut back. I normally have a Slim Fast shake and a Diet Mt. Dew for breakfast along with a slew of pills (Multi Vitamin, Fish Oil, Glucosamine Condroitin + MSM, Claritin, etc.) This isn't part of some starvation diet...If anything it's a lazy diet that I can drink on the way to the office and it leaves me with nothing to clean up. It does start my day with caffeine though.

Then I'll usually have more caffeine around lunch time. If I work out on my lunch break I'll have it both before the workout and an hour or two after which puts me at three minimum before 3:00.

If I have a pre-workout supplement then I also get a mega-dose of caffeine thrown into the mix.

Then I'll crash out and almost need something so I'm not a worthless sack of shit after I get done with work.

It all adds up pretty quickly. I'm trying to cut back to a max of two per day + pre-workout supplements.

I don't drink sodas

Before I graduated I was having a cup of coffee M-F

Now I'm trying to stay away from the stuff so I've reduced it to fixing myself a half cup of coffee once a week at work. I think that's fair hehe.

in the last two days I've had like 6 or 7 coke zeros because I've been in a "leadership planning offsite" meeting. Without it my ADD makes me go fucking apeshit sitting in a room for 9 hours a day.

Normally I dont drink anything with caffeine in it.

my ideal day would be:

2 coffees in the AM
1 2-liter throughout the day

I drink it straight out of the bottle too... carrying around a 2 liter like it's a 20oz makes me look normal-sized
