We all know that Washingtonians love their coffee. But how long could they go without it? Craft Coffee Spot conducted a survey across the United States to find out just how long people can go without drinking coffee or alcohol. Let’s check out how Washington fares.
The survey was conducted in various states across the country, and the results provide some interesting insights into the drinking habits of Americans.
The survey found that the average American can go 11 days without a cup of coffee. That’s pretty surprising considering that coffee is a popular beverage that is consumed by millions of people worldwide. What’s more, it’s basically a cultural icon here in Seattle thanks to companies like Starbucks.
