| Just curios...... How many cups a working day - do the members here have.I was told that "real programmers" drink many cups of coffee and are chain smokers and do other things that are "really great" for their health.I was put off coffee for about 10 years(due to the poor quality coffee that I was being fed in the army), but recently started consuming it again (not great quantities though - about 2 cups a working day) - bearing in mind we have a relatively warm climate here almost all year round - the climate is more condusive to consuming soft drinks like Coca Cola (which I drink a lot of).Oh - and I have never smoked..... tabaco.Duane. |

| Geez moneez. I drink a couple cups-o-java a day. Dunkin Doughnuts makes the best stuff in town, but I'll drink Starbucks in a pinch - 2 pump mocha, 2% milk, hold the whip... |

| although i must say that coffee in USA is not as strong as the one in Europe.at least not the one the guys here drink...we had a visitor from Usa and we gave him coffee, and he almost choked it was too strong for him. so i guess it's all relative to how mucha caffeine you consume.Go with the flow & have fun! Else fight the flow |

Well ditch, the question for real programmers should be:How many cups of coffee do You need in the morning before Your brain starts working ?Is not being able to sleep unless you drink a cup of coffee a sign of addiction?Personally I must confess I have grown soft over the years, and take milk with my coffee to assimilate enough calcium and vitamin D now rockmoose/* Chaos is the nature of things...Order is a lesser state of chaos */ |

| Unfortunately, unless I visit my friend the anesthesiologist, my brain doesn't ever stop... The little bugger puts the Energizer Bunny to shame!Weekdays I'll do a cup or three of coffee a day, often in the evening. Weekends I'll do about a pot or so each day.-PatP |

| A cup of tea in the morning is usually all I need to get through the day. Another cup of tea or coffee in the afternoon to ward off drowsiness from a good lunch become necessary at times, though I can't beleive the quantities of tea/coffee/tobacco some of my colleagues consume, wonder if their hands are ever free enough to use the keyboard! I think at such levels, it tends to become counter-productive. To most its an addiction, and they can't function without it then. All that caffiene and nicotine hardly helps them, but not having it certainly leads to a fall in productivity.OS |

| I usually have a few kinds of coffee and about 20 types of tea sitting around. :) Used to work in a coffee shop though, so I guess old habits die hard.MeanOldDBAderrickleggett@hotmail.comWhen life gives you a lemon, fire the DBA. |
