Disadvantages of coffee? I drink coffee many time a day; you can say I'm an addict.  Not for a specific reason, I just love the taste.  My family keeps telling me to stop drinking it, but I can't.

Can anyone tell me the disadvantages of drinking coffee?
The only disadvantage that I see from drinking coffee is that you don't have the time to drink tea!

At the age if 68, I average 6-8 cups of coffee daily,  and have done so for the past 50 years or so. My current job,  I got bored  with retirement,  now averages 35 - 40 hours per week involving continuously standing,  bending,  stretching,  and walking an average of 10 miles a day pushing loads up to 300lbs at a time.

Oh,  the last cup if coffee is right before bed.

If your family keeps nagging you,  take away their soft drinks and cigarettes,  then let them REALLY complain.
