US cities ranked based on caffeine consumption
The second annual HealthSaver Caffeinated Cities Survey analyzed 20 metropolitan cities in the United States to rank them based on overall levels of consumption of caffeine, as well as specific categories, with regard to coffee, cola, tea, sweets containing chocolate, pain relievers, energy drinks, and caffeine pills. The Tampa / St. Petersburg / Clearwater area of Florida ranked first in the United States, after having come in second in the 2007 survey. Seattle ranked second in 2008, though when broken down into the coffee category alone, the city ranked a solid first. According to the survey, tea represents 20% of the overall caffeine intake.
