A member asked:
I drink 4- 5cups of coffee a day, is this a bad habbit? and how many cups is normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There is no normal: 4-5 sounds a bit too much but i will admit i drink as much or more. It depends on your tolerance to caffeine. If it affects your mood, sleep, or GI tract, consider reducing or stopping. Otherwise you need to use your judgment.
