Why do women drink more coffee than men?

[beebella]

I've heard a lot of women say they need 2-3 cups of coffee to get through the day (I'm one of those women), while a lot of men have said that they only need one or even none to get by.
Are women just prone to caffeine addiction or is it a little more complex than that?

[Bliss-taylor]

I notice that too from my perspective. No idea why. My husband doesn't like coffee often. He would rather energy drinks. No other guys I know drink coffee. I drink a ton of coffee. Swear it runs through my vains. All my friends are similar.

[Goodwifie]

I have my coffee stronger than my husband does and sometimes I drink it black.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I think both Women and Men have addiction to caffeine
but i believe Women are bigger coffee drinkers than Men
than i believe Men drink more Mountain Dew and Coca-cola
than what Women consume.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Thank you for Most Helpful Guy :)

[Nice222]

I think everyone is addicted to caffeine.

[ThoughtfulGuy75]

What studies, statistics, and facts are you basing this theory on? Just people around you... that doesn't mean all women drink more coffee.

I know plenty of women who don't drink coffee at all.

There is nothing fascia about your theory, it's just a theory you have.

[ThoughtfulGuy75]

*factual not fascia... "ducking" autocorrect!

[beebella]

😂
I'm not trying to generalize, this is just an observation. Maybe I should've made that clear before people started attacking me? 😐

[Jaye234]

I sometimes coffee with breakfast after I've had my morning caffeine lol and usually just one cup of coffee.
Then I drink water and my favorite soft drink or sweet tea which both have caffeine in them throughout the day.

Is there any sort of legitimate study on this?
If yes, the answer will stand within the ensuing research confirming the findings.
If no, everything stated here will be opinion and thus has no weight in any realistic discussion.

[Geisterfinder]

Interesting study. This is something to have many people to test on for an accurate answer. Our opinions will not give a an accurate answer unless a study has already been done and sited for you to read on.

[LordSnuggles]

"people, honey" is the source of the claim.

[Geisterfinder]

Well that was about as clear as pond scum. Could you be more specific please? Maybe provide a link? I don't know what "people, honey" is. Sounds cannibalistic.

[LordSnuggles]

I couldn't find it in the journal of anecdotal evidence. Guess we're gonna have it take it on faith.

[whattothink]

I drink like 2 cups. My dad and brother drink it from the second they get up until they go to sleep. I also know at least 20 guys at work that drink it the entire 10 shift.

[Fran1981]

Men are less honest than women, they tend to say they don't need anything to help or minimise it. In the end I think the numbers are similar, I drink about 6 cups a day

[UnaKaizen]

i dont drink coffee. but i think women produce less 'feel good' chemicals. probably so they will take things seriously be responsible and make sure everyone doesn't die. ;)

[UnaKaizen]

so they compensate with coffee. Also they may have more demanding days.

[bubble_tea]

Strange. Many women I know don't drink coffee at all. I'm usually the most addicted (up to 4) and could quit easily. Now I mostly drink decaff for the flavor in my milk.

[JustGiveMeAUsername]

more espresso less depresso. but i never really noticed this difference before but then again i live in the country with the highest coffee consumption on the planet so that might have something to do with it.

[JustGiveMeAUsername]

lol now that i look it up i'm not sure, different sources give different results. Anyway we just drink a lot of coffee

[Onlythisone]

Depends on who works crappy hours more lol, I tend to prefer monster though... Cuz hot drinks in the desert don't work out so well.

[Whatthefluff]

Interesting, I've noticed this too. Maybe female taste buds are different and they like how coffee tastes more

[Cosytoasty]

Interesting idea. I'm going to track coffee consumption in the office tomorrow lol and see if this is true.

[just_tired]

From the people I know, I'd say it's the other way around, but we Finns drink more coffee anyways :D

[LegateLanius]

Actually according to studies, men drink more coffee than women do.

[dolemite68]

I’ve heard that the stimulating effect of chocolate hits women’s brains something like 10x stronger than men’s, it wouldn’t surprise me if that effect of chocolate was similar chemically to caffeine

[Mexicoman101]

I'm a guy who has two cups a day, in general. I don't know, maybe it processes differently in women.

[1derfulguy]

When I worked at 7-Eleven, I feel like we had way more male coffee drinkers than female. But that isn't necessarily representative.

[winterfox10]

Women tend to get up earlier and need more sleep. Probably just a symptom of that

[datgirl]

I don't really drink a lot of coffee. I drink it once in a while

[KhoryESM]

Coffee taste bitter to me I don’t drink it, I don't know depends on the person beautiful
