A research by [Dunkin’ Donuts and CareerBuilder](http://news.dunkindonuts.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=1579)[![](https://www.iliyanastareva.com/hs-fs/file-2171355769-jpg/blog-files/coffee-love.jpg)](http://iliyanastareva.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/coffee-love.jpg) shows the PR industry is the 4th most caffeinated industry in the world! Apparently PR professionals rely a lot on coffee throughout the workday to keep their productivity and increase their energy and motivation, with 63% having two cups or more and 28% drinking three cups or more a day. How interesting!

These results come from the US, but in my opinion they’re transferrable to the rest of the world. However, with one exception – the UK, where tea seems to be very, very popular. For example, at the PR office where I work now [half of the team drink tea and no coffee](https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=463240960387698&set=a.197210470324083.51507.195562830488847&type=1&theater) – that’s certainly impressive, don’t you think?

I am a coffee addict; I love the smell and the warmth! But I’ve been trying to reduce the amount of coffee I have a day and to choose decaf instead whenever possible. I guess that’s what many PR pros have been doing during the past 12 months too, because last year the PR industry was not the forth, but the [second most caffeinated industry](http://iliyanastareva.com/the-history-of-pr-briefly/)!

Does this make PR a stressful profession? I’ll leave that for you to decide.

Are you a coffee addict? Does coffee help you be more productive?
