"Why would you write that? I don't drink 25 cups of coffee a day, Maybe seven or eight or 10, but not 25. And why is that anybody's business, how many cups of coffee I drink? That's the stuff that (ticks) me off."

Ned Yost, 2008, correcting the record

I found that quote tonight and found it really hilarious. I'm pretty sure that if you drank 25 cups of coffee a day for a sustained period of time, it'd go badly for you. Especially if you spent $11 at Taco Bell to supplement the "one cup an hour" coffee habit

Seven or eight or 10?

Jeez.

Maybe it's decaf.

I've never counted...

….but I drink a lot of coffee.

At the moment, I’m two minutes away from having spent the last 24 hours at work. I feel like I’m drinking 25 cups per hour at this point.

I drink a ton of iced tea.

I’ve rationalized it over the years by it being neither soda, or coffee. Not sure whether it is or not. I drink it black with nothing but lemon, and I drink at least 3-4 44oz jusgs a day.

I'm waiting for my wave of talent to arrive.

There are numerous e-articles on coffee/caffeine addiction

and the Internet is always accurate. I once spoke to a psychologist who was telling me about various addictions; one was a case of caffeine addiction where the patient would regularly drink 50+ sodas a day, and sometimes as many as 80. That would seem to be one in hand at all times awake.
