Wait, on a typical day you're drinking 4-5.5 gallons of coffee? 180oz * 3-4? So 540-720oz?

That's not just an outlier, that's absurd. At 100mg caffeine per 8oz of coffee, that's over 6 grams of coffee per day, or more than 15 times the amount generally considered safe.

Not to diminish the outlandishness, but I think the parenthetical is misapplied.

(3 pots of coffee) is about (180 oz).

  • But the comment also said "with my usual being 3-4x that amount". I don't know how to square the math in that comment except to interpret it as "180oz is my minimum, my usual is 3-4 times as much as 180oz".

    • Yes; I drink upwards of 10 pots of coffee a day. However, due to the rise in coffee prices as of late, I have curtailed my consumption a little.
