Doctors recommend around 3 cups of coffee a day. Did any of you for a long time consumed around 6 cups and how you felt?

I drank coffee, lots of coffee, in the Navy. Abnormal environment for speculations, however. I never got wired out on it unless I was in day three of a crisis of something and hadn't been getting sleep.

Sounds like bad advice to me. Even if you get into the habit of it, you can kick the habit over a weekend or a holiday. You may get a headache for the first day or two but as long as you make sure to catch up on your sleep then your body resets itself. From memory caffeine has a half life of 9 hours.
I went from drinking two double coffees a day for several months to quitting completely and not touching it again for half a year. The problem I found when drinking caffeine is that it disturbs my sleep so I wake up tired and need more coffee to wake up. Sleep is immensely important to your general health. 
Coffee on the hour, every hour!
It doesn't seem to have much effect on me, maybe my system has adapted to it, I just like the taste. The only thing I do is switch to de caff after 7:00 pm

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it! 
It's not recommended but studies have indicated that regular consumption of coffee are linked to some health benefits. Some of the benefits are also observed in those who drink decaf coffee.

I've never consumed that much, but I am rather sensitive to caffeine. Three cups is enough to give me a caffeine overdose where I end up sick and jittery. The most I will drink is two cups. |
