Up to a litre of coffee in one morning is crazy from my point of view, but I guess it also depends on the way you prefer your bean drug: you're not drinking thirty shots of espresso, I hope?

Regular drip coffee maker, with a bean to water ratio that most would consider "normal". (I don't recall that actual ratio at the moment.)

He's talking ounces, I really doubt the guy is taking ristretto. Surely he's not from Italy!

Welcome to ADHD

ADHD people drink coffee as a form of self medication. Caffeine is an absolutely terrible and barely working stimulant for that purpose, so we end up drinking a lot to get some effect, or at least trick ourselves.

A cup of coffee is 6oz. I drink like 6-8 a day. I do however stick to average roasts, rather than robustas or light "breakfast" roasts.

My brother has that brain worm (that I used to have) where using a medication is "bad" so instead he drinks like 5 giant energy drinks a day.

My father drinks a similar amount of coffee as I do per day, and often drinks coffee as a late night relaxation aide. Stimulants can be "calming" to some people who have a certain genetic mutation and often have ADHD

The first dose of Ritalin I took, I immediately fell asleep and took a 2 hour nap.
