Becoming One with Your Coffee

[Brian]

Many people rely on coffee in the morning to jump-start their day. A couple of cups, and they are good to go. But there are others whose need for caffeine goes a bit deeper. They need hourly infusions to keep them going. How do you keep yourself going through those long and tough shifts?

Good day:

I drink anywhere from 32 to 48 ounces of coffee a day; sometimes more, sometimes less. Though the other day I saw the following Caffeine overdose killed high school senior, coroner finds - Health - CBC News Based on Caffeine Overdose: Causes, Symptoms, & Treatment it looks like I overdose ever day on Caffeen. At what point should I or anyone else be worried?

Thank you.

I am really glad i can program my coffee pot to automatically start 5 minutes before I get out of bed. I barely open my eyes before i get my first cup. The hospital does not have good coffee readily available near the nurse's station. I cannot figure that one out.
