What is it with people and their coffee addiction?

[Dr Assbandit]

Because there are actual withdrawal symptoms associated with abruptly stopping caffeine intake?

Also different people have different tolerance levels to it, so it doesn't affect everyone the same way and the same goes for withdrawal symptoms.

[Celista]

It's a legit addiction, it's just a socially condoned one (much like moderate alcohol use).

[Ravenblade]

It's withdrawal symptoms are rather mild and it doesn't take long until they are gone, especially since they can easily be cured by a few cups of coffee.

I never understood that one, and I hate when people use it. Grow the fuck up, and act like an adult.

Why? There are any number of things I do in the morning before and during which I want to be left alone. Among them include hygiene activities, dressing, eating, reading/watching news/weather/sports for a few, checking my list of things to do on the way to work, read/write emails, feed the cat, exercise, push the button so the island doesn't explode, and so on. There may or may not be coffee involved in that.

Note that all of those activities are adult things to do.

Would you prefer I just wore my "Do Not Distub" sign until I feel like interacting with a human?

I think you are exaggerating a whole fucking lot here, please show me people with escalating coffee addiction /facepalm

Also tea has caffeine in is as well (less though)

It's nowhere close to as bad as most addictive drugs. However don't underestimate how much it can effect people who have a more serious addiction to it. I've known people who can't function well without it, get terrible headaches and go into awful moods. You can do a quick google search for more serious withdrawal stories. Like I said, it's not a huge deal for most people, but for some it can be a terrible thing.

You eventually don't drink to 'wake up', you drink to 'not stay asleep'. Addictions are bad ok?

[proralph]

I am not addicted to coffee but still it's the amount of caffeine in it is the thing which makes your mind to ask for more, and believe who are addicted to coffee or caffeine, there day never starts until the supply is taken.

I gave up sugar and coffee a few weeks ago, the first few days were absolutely Brutal. Though now I don't have headaches before consumption of sugar and/or coffee in the morning.

Addictions be addicting.

Sugar is far worse than caffeine.

[Super Kami Dende]

Sugar is far worse than caffeine.

indeed since it's in like 80% of things you eat daily.

It really is. I think going without caffeine wouldn't be that much of a problem for me (not drinking coffee, but lots of Coke Zero etc.) - but going entirely without sugar? Really not worth it.

[Shadowferal]

No one touch my coffee...


Days when I need it NOW

[PosPosPos]

I take a lot of caffeine(like, I drink more tea and coffee than water), but strangely don't have any side effects if I choose not to take coffee or tea for a few days in a row.

[Allybeboba]

No coffee for me thanks.

However, coffee is the second most traded commodity in the entire world!

The story of how the coffee bean came to the new world is a very interesting one. You all should look it up.

Coffee, tea, beer.

The holy trinity of drinks.

[Scrotie]

Coffee is the new mothers milk.

[Extremities]

Dude, coffee, lmao.

"I can't get up in the morning without my coffee."

"Don't talk to me before i have had my coffee."

Why?

Coffee is a stimulant, aka a form of a drug. Not all that harmful, in fact it has many more benefits than not.

No, Yes, No. Beer is even worse - actually, a lot worse - than coffee.

You are weird!
