Finnish people drink a lot of coffee; in my place of work it's a mug (0.2 litres) every two hours or so during a twelve hour shift. Some people there have been doing that for over a decade and apparently their dosage and consumption interval has remained the same, keeping blood caffeine levels quite steady. Finland has the highest coffee consumption per capita in the world with ~12kg annually; compare to the US with ~4.1kg: http://www.worldmapper.org/posters/worldmapper_1038_coffee_c... |

I have noticed that if I don't get caffeine, I have a headache within a day. It lasts for about 3 days, or up to week. Then the cold turkey is over. I switched to green tea for 1.5 years when living in Asia (quite bad coffee, sorry) and then started again with coffee.
Decaffeinated is not popular here (e.g. our office does not have it) but Finnish coffee is no espresso so it's not that strong in caffeine. I prefer espresso beans though, not the light roast that is typical here.
