Joe G Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 Green tea after dinner, or around 7pm. I never think about my problems when I'm having a spot of tea. Note to Big Al: have you read my signature? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 I stop anywhere from 9:45 to 10:15 and then have dinner....and not a drop after that. Oh, this is about caffeine? Sorry, I thought it was about brew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottb Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 Been trying to cut down lately, but previously required a caffeinated beverage at bedtime to be able to sleep. Granted I drink colas and not coffee but usually the warmth of a late night cup of coffee puts me right to sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 I try not to drink caffeine after 1:00 pm or so. But lately a love of chai, hot or cold, has made me have a glass or cup before dinner. And I sometimes pay for that with a restless night. . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 I can drink caffeine and sleep at any time of the day I drink 3 (sometimes 4) cups of coffee a day and it helps me wake up in the morning and not to fall asleep when I want or need to stay up late. But I could go to bed immediately after drinking coffee and sleep without a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 I can drink caffeine and sleep at any time of the day I drink 3 (sometimes 4) cups of coffee a day and it helps me wake up in the morning and not to fall asleep when I want or need to stay up late. But I could go to bed immediately after drinking coffee and sleep without a problem. Same here, except there are days completely without, and days with 5, 6 or 7 cups... not a problem. Usually when I feel like having a strong (black, of course) coffee late at night, I've had a good dinner before and are dead-tired anyway, and coffee won't keep me awake a second longer. ubu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 I drink quite a bit of regular coffee in the morning, but none thereafter, and its almost always decaffinated sodas in the house, so unless I'm out drinking caffenated Diet Coke, I'd say the caffeine intake ceases by about 9 AM for me.

B. Goren. Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 I do it to forget my problems. Try whiskey. That's what I do (single malt of course). The whiskey does a much better job… Maybe we have to open a thread "what is your preferred whiskey?". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chaney Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 I don't drink more than three cups of coffee per day. If I have that third cup, it's usually in my cup and ready to drink at around 7:00 p.m. Anything past that and I'm asking for trouble. (I head for bed at the embarrassingly early hour of 10:00 p.m.) With the weather being hot, I most often skip cup number three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 I basically drink caffeine all day. Have countless cups of coffee at work, then when I get home I'm usually drinking either ice tea or coke. I usually switch to water about an hour before I go to bed. The caffeine doesn't really seem to bother my sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upright Bill Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 My name is Bill and I'm a coffee-aholic. My last cup of coffee for the day is at bedtime. Quite often the empty cup spends the night on my bed side stand. The day starts with an expresso followed by a crema on the way to work. Four or five 20 ounce mugs at work. A couple of cremas while making and eating dinner. A cappacino while practicing and one more to mellow out the day with my wife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartyJazz Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 Recently was diagnosed with esophagitis (frequently caused by backflow of acid-containing fluid from the stomach to the esophagus which can cause the tissues to become inflamed and can occasionally cause ulcers). Among other things, the doctor advised to cut out caffeine. Forget it. I rely solely on the medication (Prevacid) to control the reflux. Every day, I drink 2 hearty mugs of dark French roast in the morning and one similarly sized mug of Earl Grey tea after dinner. Won't give up this indulgence. I walk around in a fog and develop quite a headache without my caffeine fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzmoose Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 I got the doctor's advice as well, due to high blood pressure. Now the most I go through is a cup in the morning around 8 at work. After that it's decaf all day. How the mighty have fallen. On the other hand, I don't wake up two or three times a night to hit the bathroom anymore...

Swinger Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 I try to avoid drinking coffee after 7PM.I don't get any sleep easily if I drink coffee in the early evening hours. I usually drink around 7-10 cups of coffee every day.I should definitely cut down a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
