While I realize I'm an outlier, I do NOT consider 24oz of coffee a lot, nor does anyone I know--that's literally a standard coffee cup at a coffee shop these days. At a minimum, I'm drinking 3 pots (~180oz) of coffee a day, with my usual being 3-4x that amount.

So; with that said, while I believe that eating 28oz of chocolate is a lot, I guess it could happen :-)

HN is crazy for outliers. We have the lady who gets wired off a chocolate bar, and the guy who drinks over a gallon per day.

But anyway, I've been to a coffee shop or two, and I've never seen a "standard cup" as anything other than 12 ounces.

Wait, on a typical day you're drinking 4-5.5 gallons of coffee? 180oz * 3-4? So 540-720oz?

That's not just an outlier, that's absurd. At 100mg caffeine per 8oz of coffee, that's over 6 grams of coffee per day, or more than 15 times the amount generally considered safe.

Not to diminish the outlandishness, but I think the parenthetical is misapplied.
(3 pots of coffee) is about (180 oz).

  But the comment also said "with my usual being 3-4x that amount". I don't know how to square the math in that comment except to interpret it as "180oz is my minimum, my usual is 3-4 times as much as 180oz".

  Yes; I drink upwards of 10 pots of coffee a day. However, due to the rise in coffee prices as of late, I have curtailed my consumption a little.
