Are you a caffeine addict?

Hey everyone,

Those of you that like to drink coffee, tea, fizzy drinks and etc excessively. Do you ever think of the possible side effects caffeine can have? Lol i didn't im addicted to coffee, i have like fours cups of it everyday (starbucks). I guess its not a bad thing as their are pros and cons, but i want to cut down to one cup a day. Any advice how to cut down, have you been in a similar situation?

I'm addicted to caffeine- quite literally. I get a banging headache if I don't get it.
yes, yes i am.
drink circa 3 cans of coke zero daily along with many teas.
have done for years.
im still alive :smile:
i have about 320-350mg of caffinee a day. every day :P

so yeah haha. energy drinks are too good.
I drink about 5 cans of diet coke and have at least a couple cups of tea but I suffer no ill effects if I don't have it.

The main problem with having 4 starbucks a day i would say are the calories (but thats maybe because i love caramel lattes with whipped cream on top).
Yep. I'm addicted to quite a few substances.
Tea, coffee, coke.. :coma:

Surely 4 Starbucks a day costs a bomb :lolwut:
I usually drink one can of diet coke per day, but am trying to cut down!

I couldn't function without caffeine!

How do you afford 4 Starbucks a day?!
I am - if I dont have my coffee I get a terrible headache and feel generally awful
Oh, I am.

I tried to give it up for a week.


Those were dark, dark days.

I actually am. I mostly drink tea, occasionally coffee, but when I went for a couple of weeks without caffeine a while ago, I found I was genuinely craving tea and getting the most enormous headaches. Crazy stuff!
