    Hello,

    Well they've had a report out this week that if you have a cup of coffee a day your addicted to caffeine. Well I have two cans of caffeinated pop (pepsi, mountain dew, etc..) a day so I guess I'm included. Anyway, it doesn't seem to be that big of a deal because I think the report also said 80% of the world is addicted. Don't quote me on that, it's just a number I remember.

    Anyway, your thoughts??????

  2. I think that's wrong. If you can stop drinking it with no problems whatsoever then you are not addicted, but if you get any withdrawl symptoms then you are.

    Well, im glad im in the 20% that isnt addicted. Im more of a juice person...dont drink coffee or alot of caffinated pop. Alot of public gatherings you are never far away from a coffeepot somewhere. And as far as office buildings.....people cant survive without it.

    Well, ever since I switched to Nodoze I don't drink a cup of coffee a day so I'm glad I'm not addicted either!

    I go through about the equivalent of a pot of coffee a day, mostly just black coffee. Sometimes I have a Coke with lunch or dinner, but when I'm not having a drink with food it's usually some coffee derivative. I think I'm addicted, though the withdrawl symptoms must be pretty mild because I don't notice them at all. As long as your body is used to the caffeine in coffee the anti-oxidants present are pretty good for you.

    I wonder if beer and coffee would work as well as Vodka and Red Bull.
    Nothing can stop me now, 'cause I don't care anymore.

    Hello,

    I think maybe I'll try to lay off the caffeine for this weekend. See how bad it gets! If I don't post for a few days you know I'm going through withdrawal and can't open my eyes!!!

    I doubt it. 1/2 pound of coffee diluted in 5 gallons of beer wouldn't contain near the caffeine as a Vodka & Red Bull

    I'm pretty addicted to caffeine. I've cut back my daily coffee dosage to two or three cups a day, from about a pot. I don't get headaches when I don't drink coffee or caffeine, but I used to, when I would drink a pot a day.

    Unfortunately, there's no more Christmas cat. My neighbor's dog chomped him, while I was on vacation. I want to adopt a new one, but the family's against it. 1 wife + 2 parents / 1 house - me = no more cats.

    I drink probably six mugs of tea and two mugs of coffee in a normal day. sometimes more.

    On a weekend if i stay in bed for a long time without getting a tea or coffee i develop a strong headache. one cup of tea later the headache is gone.
    (Cap, if you make any jokes about me drinking tea i will hunt you down and destroy you. seriously.)

    I ...am .....a ....coffee fiend. I drink it all day long.

    When I drink too much, I sometimes vibrate in place and talk to myself, but I'm always polite and answer

    it's funny, from american tv (simpsons for example) i get the impression that you think coffee makes you "buzz" and that kids aren't allowed to drink it. people don't have that view over here, and kids drink tea and coffee. been drinking the stuff longer than i can remember.

    I dunno, I started drinking coffee when I was probably 5 or 6 years old. My parents never tried to tell me that it would do bad things to me like so many other parents did. I never understood that either.

    What is interesting is that when I've had a lot of coffee to drink, and of course I've gotta take a leak because coffee is a diuretic, my urine actually smells like coffee. It is at this point that I have reached coffee Zen

    I think the reason is the kids are already too hopped up on sugar as it is. Toss in a megaton of caffeine, and you get Tgpo.

    On the other hand, once you get the addiction down pat, you get like Mel Gibson in Conspiracy Theory: "Coffee is our friend."

  29. I am a Coffee addict. I drink it all day to the point whjere I can see through my eye-lids. I have sworn off soup as I can never get the spoon to my mouth without the spoon's contents having splashed back into the soup bowl due to caffeine shakes.

    I tried to quit once. The symptoms were horrific. I could not surf the web due to wanting to sleep at 10PM; constant yawning in the mornings; too much productivity as I was always at my desk instead of the coffee machine; and the headaches. The terrible headaches!!

    It is an addiction. I have max'ed out my credit cards and pawned anything of value including my wife's jewelery. I have burgled my neighborhood homes and taken all of the proceeds and immediately given it to the souless entity that feeds my addiction. All that I own I have given up to the purveyor of this Nectar of the Gods -- the Elixir of Life. I can always be found at the street corner completing a trascaction with my dealer ...



    STARBUCKS !!!


    Damn you Starbucks! Damn you to Hell !!!!!


    Woh!! Too much coffee again. Gotta learn to lay off of the stuff!
