Upperclassmen! How much coffee do you now need to function?

<p>So I started sipping kitten-coffee come sophomore year (i.e. coffee flavored milk.)</p>

<p>Come junior year and come regular two-in-the morning study sessions, it amped up to 2-3 10oz cups of black, drip coffee. I'm currently trying to tone it down since you know, SUMMER~! </p>

<p>Eww coffee</p>

<p>I drink a latte every day of the weekends but not because I need it for energy (it actually makes me sleepy if anything) but because I’m a manly-man who needs his caramel.</p>

<p>I’m probably addicted to caffeine, but I consume most of it in the form of Diet Coke. I have cappuccinos once in a while.</p>

<p>Huh. I never drink coffee yet I can stay up as long as I need to if I have motivation</p>

<p>2 cups in the morning.</p>

<p>2 cups in the morning and 1 in the afternoon (every single day of the week)</p>

<p>Caffeine puts me to sleep, so I like to have a cup before bed (yea its really weird). I really like the taste of black coffee so I drink decaf fairly often. As a treat I’ll have a chai latte with a shot of espresso after school, but that makes me very tired.</p>

<p>One cup in the morning seems to do the trick. </p>

<p>I hate the taste of coffee and get sugar headaches from Diet Coke, so I’ve been doing 18-20 hour days with whatever caffeine I can scrounge from chocolate… My friends, OTOH, drink boatloads of coffee. (What else is the point of going to school in NYC, which is the city that never sleeps because of the Starbucks on every corner?) One friend, memorably, brings a gallon jug of coffee in every day and drinks the entire thing. It’s decaf, but she reasons that the residual caffeine from eight cups of decaf coffee MUST do something. Another friend, the day before an AP, visited Starbucks seven times. This is the same girl who used to drink Pepsi Max for breakfast. </p>

<p>Junior (soon to be senior) here.</p>

<p>I drink coffee (with cream and sugar) because I like the taste. In terms of energy, the caffeine in it doesn’t do anything for me. </p>

<p>I think I should start drinking coffee. Rising senior. Wow, High School Life is much more fun a forum than any other forum on CC. I’m glad I found it.</p>
