Caffeine

Coffee...

 

Who drinks coffee in the morning? Com'on! I want to see a show of hands!

Almost everybody, right?

Some cannot really start the day without that cup, or two, or more.

I thought about making this post about what caffeine really does to your system when it gets in, but I think I'll save it from you :)

Like any "good" drug, caffeine is addictive. It's found in many more products aside from coffee. Actually, coffee is not the beverage with the most amount of caffeine in it.. Can anyone guess which one is?

No, it's not coke, (maybe jolt cola, but no regular coke) - It's Tea. The regular kind, not the herbal sorts.

Okay. All the addicts - wanna try something? try avoiding coffee for a single day. See what happens. :)

Basically it's the same effects as withdrawal from any other drug. (aside from the robbing of a convenient store in order to get some money to quench the thirst)

You get restless, irritable, annoyed and annoying really easily.

It would take from 3 days to two weeks or so to kick the habit entirely. Not a pretty sight.. :)

But what's so bad about caffeine? It get's you going in the morning, helps you stay alert during the day and long work nights, so what's the big problem?

Caffeine is an addictive drug. Among its many actions, it operates using the same mechanisms that amphetamines, cocaine, and heroin use to stimulate the brain.

Here's another fact: Typical milk chocolate contains 6 mg per ounce.

In accordance with the prophecy!

I occasionally drink coffee, but more than 2 cups and I get the jitters!!
I do drink coke all day long though, and if I dont I get major headaches!

Well, I myself hate coffee, I never drink it unless it comes from Starbucks. So I usually drink tea in the morning...I had no clue it had more caffiene than coffee, I thought it was the other way around.

I haven't had my fix yet today! But I get mine from soda first thing in the morning and then switch to coffee later, if it's cold outside.

I would rather be addicted to that than crack though! Cheaper.
