Which Profession Consumes The Most Coffee?

Seems like a topic worthy of my attention given the title of my blog.  But if you think the most java is consumed by politicos you would be wrong.

A new study from the UK firm Pressat finds that journalists consume more coffee than those in any other profession.

“It seems that drinking coffee is a necessity on the job in a wide variety of professions,” the survey reads. “The highest consumers, sinking over four cups daily, were those with stressful careers: journalists consumed the most, followed closely by police officers and teachers.”

Out of the 10,000 professionals surveyed, “85 percent said they drink at least three cups of coffee a day, and nearly 70 percent admitted that their working ability would be affected without a daily mug of coffee.” Journalists finished ahead of police officers (2nd), teachers (3rd), and plumbers and trade workers (4th).
