| Coffee & tea | Feb 12, 2006 |
While the average daily number of coffee could be 5 or more, number of cups of tea may exceed 25, sometimes. Actually I wonder if there is anybody among you, by virtue of his/her field of specialization, who knows the maximum tolerable limit of cups of coffee & tea for a professional translator for healthier future?.

Where's the option for 10+ or 15+???
OK, OK, I *try* to stick to decaf after the first few 'real' ones..... but there's only so much of that one can take! (sob)

I thought it was only me!
Interesting I'm living in a house where none can smile before his/her morning cup of coffee and most of the people I know around me are the same! And it's not even the usual light coffee; it's Turkish coffee!
Nice to know that I'm not alone here

In memoriam
It's the fuel that keeps my translations running. And myself, of course. Although... after 15+ over a few decades it's only 10+ these days.
Perhaps I'm getting old

I do drink "mate" which contains caffeine but I think not as much as coffee or even tea. On average, I drink 3 "rounds" of mate on my own when I'm working (plus an occasional social round). If I'm not working I usually have mate twice a day, once on my own and once with family or friends.

If you'd like to know a bit more about "mate", you can visit Wikipedia, which has a really great and very complete description of mate and the social ritual associated with it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yerba_mate
I also found these other interesting links:

http://www.bendbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060104/BIZ0102/601040320/1011&nav_category=
and this one with pictures and a more "cultural approach to mate. One comment though, it's not true that we in Argentina sweeten our mate, in fact, about 90% of mate drinkers I know *don't* use any sugar (sacrilege!)

Any other mate drinkers around??

For me it's just like avantix said: fuel. The coffee machine and the laptop are my most important translation equipment . But I don't need a cup to smile in the morning. Actually I never drink coffe before dinner. I work mostly during the night and siping a warm drink helps me to focus and keeps my mind clear. And there is always a warm drink in your reach, when you have a coffee machine on your desk ... See more

Hola Maria Fernanda
Thanks for that link. I was intrigued by "mate" after seeing Historias Minimas, I'll check out what it's all about!

Same here, my husband practically lives on coffee. I always start my day with a nice big pot of rooibos tea (which doesn't contain any caffeine), works perfectly for me.

I drink coffee (with lemon) ones a few weeks. But usually I drink litres of tea with honey

I used to drink 7-10 a day when I was in college because I liked it and because I was addicted. One day coffee didn't taste the same anymore and stopped drinking it. This happened about 3 years ago. It was awful because I was always sleepy and had to re-start drinking coffee. However, I usually put some drops of milk in it, since I don't like the flavour anymore.
Tea, on the other hand, doesn't have the same effect on me as coffee does. ▲ Collapse

| TEAtotaller :] | Feb 12, 2006 |
Well, I don't drink coffee, it tastes awful and I've never forced myself to drink something I don't like, including alcohol :] But I do drink a lot of tea... usually in my favorite gigantic mug - it is so big that I can't hold it with one hand when it's full :] But I’m not addicted, I can do without tea.

I feel like an ethereal being in the morning until I get my first dose of coffee and smoke, and if I can't get any coffee for some reason, I can't concentrate well, have a headache, and feel on the edge! So, lack of it is quite unhealthy, too! However, any coffee I get in the rest of the day is more like a distraction from work, just because I don't seem to find any better excuse to leave my desk when I feel bored.

When the coffee is a must is early morning only, and the total amount of coffee I get throughout the day is 4-5 cups, I guess.
Ah, I drink Turkish coffee only when I want to give myself a treat with coffee, other than the medical reasons just listed above And, tortuga langua, I wonder what variety of Turkish coffee you get in 3-4 big cups. It sounds like drinking 3-4 beer mugs of tequila
