Answer 1

You might want to moderate your consumption being that your so young.I remember starting to drink coffee at 15....and I smoked cigs also,at least you don't smoke hopefully.I wouldn't worry too much......there are worse things than coffee!

Answer 2

Coffee contains caffeine. Oneday 2 cups may do...not so strong one. If you like to drink too much coffee...try decafein coffee. Side effects depent on how long you have drink.. can cause gastric or even cancer.

Answer 3

Caffeine triggers your brain to jump-start your body by giving it extra (artificial) energy.  The biggest danger you have (in relation to your coffee intake) is addiction which ultimately means that your body will not know how to function normally without caffeine.  Your body will start to operate at a normal level when you have two cups so you will have to up your intake for it to have an affect.  

If it is the taste you like, I would suggest just blending your regular coffee with decaf and brewing it that way or order a "split" or "half-caf" when you go out for coffee.  If it is the boost you get from the coffee, I would suggest trying a cup of 100 % apple juice and a cup of coffee rather than two cups of coffee.

Answer 4

I go to cardiac rehab since my heart attack. I am always being told about the coffee I am drinking because caffein has a direct effect on your heart. It messes with your heart's rhythm. I had to get a pace maker in 'cause my rhythm was already skipping / stopping on occasion Coffee or more precisely " Caffein" does not help me but it is an old habit I have yet to defeat ( in progress).

Answer 5

You're fine, too much caffeine can make you jumpy and nervous, also your body usually develops tolerance for the caffeine.  you also develop caffeine withdrawal if you don't drink coffee, you get a headache.
