According to a 2022 Kantar survey of US consumers, the 50-64 age group records the highest mean daily caffeine intake, challenging the common assumption that younger adults are the heaviest users. While teens and young adults consume caffeine, older demographics show higher daily averages due to consistent consumption patterns primarily centered around coffee.

According to UCLA Health, older adults may take 33% longer to metabolize caffeine than younger people, which can amplify its effects and lead to increased sensitivity. For this reason, many are asking: how much coffee is too much for a 60 year old?
