An article on CNN.com says moms are guzzling caffeine in record numbers just to keep pace with their busy lifestyles. And it's not just coffee these days. Moms are drinking everything from double lattes to six packs of soda and energy drinks every day. 

All this caffeine consumption has given rise to growing numbers of "caffeinated moms." A study by an independent nonprofit research group, The National Sleep Foundation, found that more than 65 percent of moms drink caffeinated beverages to get through their day. [CNN.com]

Although the large doses of caffeine may have deleterious effects on mothers such as migraines, heartburn, and an increased risk of miscarriage, a study released in August 2007 and published in the journal Neurology found three cups of coffee every day helps women over the age 65 stay sharp. So, perhaps getting in the habit of drinking a lot of caffeine is good for moms.

What do you think? Do you drink too much caffeine? Do you feel better when you cut down on your caffeine habit?
