I base my entire life on coffee....

I'm a coffee shop owner!

LOL, but to be serious; it all depend on your bodytipe: I don't know if you are referring to the typical USA coffee, that for us Italians it's basically a VERY watered down and large cup of blackened water with lots of sugar; this coffee is absolutely no harmful if not for the sugar contents, I think.

If you are referring to a shot of espresso, well if you are accustomed to it (addicted must be a better word) you'll blunt its energyzing properties up to a point that you'll not feel absolutely nothing. Until you withdraw from taking it; in this case you may feel some headaches and tremblings.

One thing is very true however; coffee is a DIURETIC and will flush you from water big time; keep your water intake up to 3 liters/day if you train hard.

Myself, without three shots of expresso in the morning I can't even crawl out of the bed to jog...

But I'm addicted beyond hope....
