Coffee: The Greatest Addiction Ever

[chipiy172]

what about with kids. I've heard it stays in their system longer or something. What do you think kids should do about coffee? just drink less than adults do? please respond I don't know what to do

[LionsDenJJ]

Nah, greatest addiction is monster/rockstar :P

[blazingsilver1]

Did anyone else think of Godot from Ace Attorney when they read the title?

[MoonLitCat]

I seriously think you should do Soda.

[Hayashigame]

Hey everyone, the song used is called "Amazing Plan" by the equally amazing Kevin MacLeod. The rest of his "silent film score" playlist is really cool too.

[IImrdiamondII]

grim reaper! loved dead like me. <3

[salamut2202]

But tea tastes better.

[JDLOCKON]

@salamut2202 I'm with ya

[ADour1996]

I remember the first time I drink cofee... AWESOME

[UndeadProductionsCo]

:D I would drink more... if every place that made it, didn't make it fucking MOLTEN.

[bcblkshrt27]

guilt -> annihilated

[fallvegas]

Mormons are a crazy bunch. unfortuantly i cant change my religoin. at least officially cause like i said their crazy. serioulsy no caffine. and i am a mormon so back off about bashing me for bashing a religion. sorry for spelling mistakes.

[fixxxer928]

Lol, drugs

[Thyreus123]

Isn't there more caffeine in tea?

[fixxxer928]

@Thyreus123 Pound of pound yes, but there is far less tea leaves and as a result less caffeine in a cup of tea than a cup of coffee. The end.

[Qw3rtypop]

Take my mass and multiply by 150mg? Are you really sure that's the way to do it? :| I'm not sure how to measure out 9kg²

[CowbellNinja]

@Qw3rtypop Mass(kg) x caffiene per mass (mg/kg) = lethal dose (mg). The units work out.

[Qw3rtypop]

@CowbellNinja

You didn't multiply the units. the m and k cancel each other, but g*g is still g².

What's 1km*1mm?

[ShadowsDML]

Do one about cannabis

[WinnonaDee]

The thing is - there's now the internet availability of Inhale-able caffeine - so now it is possible to die from coffee because one inhale-worth of that stuff is as much caffeine as one cup of coffee. Just buy 90 some and presto. :/

[pastoh1]

@WinnonaDee That would count as one of those crazies who ingest caffeine in the pure form.

[JiubTheSaint]

great!

[punisher18000]

but the crash!!!!

[dburnside73]

please don't run out of coffee

[PureZOOKS]

But it tastes like shit!

[TouYube67]

1:13 So you're saying you can kill bugs by pouring black coffee on them?

[Mrscottishsheep]

what about those people who gather the coffee beans?

[JoF9000]

im gonna go make a cup of coffie :)

[sk8rdman]

but it makes my tummy hurt =S

[starsplash922]

Turned up this video louder than I should've just because I LOVE THIS SONG XD

[Abracapocus66]

I MUST start drinking coffee!

[TheTabacchiPro]

1. Drink all the caffeine

2. No more bug bites

3. ????

4. Profit

[PlaxJigabytes]

doesn't caffeine dehydrate your body? (tricks your body into releasing more water, through urine, than it's supposed to?)

so I guess it's not 100% good,.. but still pretty darn good!

[PlaxJigabytes]

@PlaxJigabytes nvm... i was wrong... it only dehydrates you if you consume large amounts (~5-7 cups of coffee).

[BodzyAlim]

if i die from drinking too much coffee, your ass is on the line

[CornishCreamtea07]

Coffee the best thing ever, i don't think I would be able to start my day without a Flat White

[capperann]

Monkeys have tails, generally. We be apes then, yeah?

[Iniss132]

I'm a Mormon, and I drink caffeine. As of yet there is no official declaration concerning the ban of caffeine. It is recommend, as with all substances, to use prudence.

[Osterbaum]

Haha, for all of the things we could've been #1 at it's how much coffee we drink. And I don't even like coffee! Go Finland, I guess!

[monkeybux]

Thanks for this video :)

[VayneArelius1]

Coffee tricks your body into thinking you have more energy than you actually have. When you use up all the ATP in your cells you feel fatigued. When you drink coffee it fools the body into thinking you still have ATP left and thus churns every ounce of strength left in your body when you have none. It isn't entirely a bad thing and has alot of benifits but you should probably take a nap if you feel tired.

[HornetBlack]

@VayneArelius1 Considering most people consume more energy than they really need.

[vampireeve13]

omg! got the dead like me reference!!

[thatdamnbrownman]

What's the name of this piano tune? I need it fast.

[ScrapperTBP]

I don't like coffee :(

[crashdown903p]

Rapid withdrawal from heroin will not kill you. It just makes you violently sick for a few days. Rapid withdrawal from alcohol on the other hand will kill you, it not treated properly.

[AvoidDrunkDialing]

ohhh nooo the corporations got to him!!

[kcj1993]

TL;DR:

Do drugs!

[TheCoffeeNut711]

you guys you guys holy shit you guys.....i need to watch porn.

[falafel1995]

we are apes, not monkeys... no tail...

[gr8vibes2]

"there are no medical concerns" ummm coffee is very acidic which creates a cancerous environment, especially when sweetened with sugar; overall the benefits outweigh the negatives; just go light or alkalize it and drink lots of alkalinic water

[gr8vibes2]

best narration ever!

[prorsoft]

Now make a similar video about weed and LSD.

[zandvlootje]

does this count for energy drinks?

[GONEmypurpleflapjack]

Why is Mandy Patinkin going to kill me, I only have ten fingers.

[hamsandwhich25]

if you have an irregular heartbeat then yes, coffee can kill you.

[nwanda69]

Why at 2.13 does a picture of George Square in Glasgow come up? Cheeky beggars!

[kamakaziiee96]

what about energy drinks like Red Bull or V, do they have similar properties as coffee 

[sciarrone90]

You made me love coffee.

[RodaSmash]

What if you don't like coffee? D:

[Rithene]

Great Scott! I never knew caffeine was so awesome! I do need some now, though. Paper to revise. Off to my handy-dandy dorm market, which has three giant kegs of real coffee and one extremely amusing tiny portable keg of decaf.

[JeroDaviesHawaii]

I love it when the coffee's done!

[lovelock512]

Hey I'm not a barbarian. Me go sharpen axe now!

[Guh1244]

what is this song? it's used in so many videos

[thecat0799]

LIKE if you NEED your coffe!!!!

[smaily666]

Wait, if it gives one better memory, then why am I forgetting as much as I do?

Wouldn't want to know how I would have been if I didn't drink coffee.

I don't like coffee. I like tea :)

[lilbrudderMIA]

lol @ NSFW plants!

[recojinkins]

i know how i got here but why am i watching

[UberNoodleX]

The problem with the 'coffee is good for you' argument is that coffee is mostly consumed alongside other substances which are NOT good for you.

[sockostealshearts]

OMG.. DEAD LIKE ME REFERENCE!!

\m/-.-\m/

[charliesbass]

@Pixiestix123321 no. Your mum probably didnt want you to drink it as a child, since as a child, you need sleep, and caffine keeps you awake, and she probably didnt want a hyperactive child to deal with at midnight.

[Pixiestix123321]

Does coffee really stunt your growth? My mom always told me this as a child...

[LikeTotallyRich]

@Pixiestix123321 It was to keep you away from his drug period! Now you can pay your own drug, drink as much as you can and smoke some MARIJUANA mind expanding plant, the same i built a million dollar business on... it works bro

[iasedu]

@Pixiestix123321 Clinical trials haven't found much evidence either way, it doesn't seem like caffeine have any effects on children. It do however increase growth in the fetus of pregnant women, especially in the hippocampus.

[radguitar1]

Caffiene causes increased tension which leads to stress and, possibly, depression.

[LorneRossbach]

I was drinking coffee while I watched this.

[Infinitiely]

I was hoping for some negative effect of coffee :(

[FreeHugsAndPeeps]

I have heard that there are over 500 chemicals in coffee, and 50 of these have been tested. Half of them caused cancer in rats. Is this just a misconception?

[supremeinferno43]

@FreeHugsAndPeeps In rats, not humans. Rats are great for testing some things,but not ALL the things.

[FreeHugsAndPeeps]

@supremeinferno43 Excuse me, while I do this. It is too tempting

[milosQaX]

Physics boring? BLASPHEMY!

[jacacheminpurple]

@milosQaX Shakespeare (somewhat, not really) agrees! Macbeth Act 5, Scene 4: Throw Physic to the dogs, i'll have none of it!!

Except by physic he meant medicine (idk how that works Shakespeare...) but no one needs to know (shh!)

[VoldemartVarsity]

MYTH or FACT: ingesting coffee at a young age can make you shorter?

[MrChaos424242]

@VoldemartVarsity I am 87% sure that is myth.

[FreshDumbl]

Somewhere in a parallel universe there is a video like that except it's about Marijuana.



[AllegoryLauren]

too bad it tastes terrible.

[HelpMeHelpUGetBetter]

CGPGrey.... I honestly think the greatest addiction is : Chewing.

[Spiderboydk]

Nice vid, but alas rather one-sided about the effects of coffee.

[andr00123]

i don't drink coffee, never will, I don't spend money on something I don't need hehe :)

I'm not a mormon either loll

But i liked this vid, nice and educational

[Game117Fanatic]

Is it at all a problem that I drink a cup of coffee a day?

P.S. I'm 12, sounded sophisticated for a second there, eh?

[Kayce20011]

I love you.....

[NixieSama]

This makes me feel sooo much better about all the coffee I drink. Seriously, it's not uncommon for me to have more than two cups every day.

[TheCoconutCookie]

I love coffee :)

[fluffytoro]

Imma go out on a limb here and say that you like Minecraft

[iluvdrakeandjosh]

benefits of coffee = benefits of sleep. 

[valinglyd]

I miss "Dead Like Me".

[wolvycrusher]

A Health lesson, History lesson, and geography lesson, all in under 4 minute? My school sucks compared to this

[ImLegend932]

@wolvycrusher + school is in no in way shape or form as interesting as this.

[ImLegend932]

@ImLegend932 lol wut? what happened to your grammar bud?

[Bruinsma1987]

Darwin award reference, I lol'd. Every single one of these videos has a point where he just sneaks in a joke that will tear you up, yet keep you interested in what he has to say. Keep up the good work.

[TheWeaselCake]

Does coffe stun your growth?

[EllieBeeElite]

But It does give you cellulite :(

[aarbear83fierce]

WHY IS MANDY PATINKIN THE GRIM REAPER????????????? WTF?

[CGPGrey]

@aarbear83fierce WHY HAVEN'T YOU WATCHED DEAD LIKE ME????????????? WTF?

[aarbear83fierce]

@CGPGrey no lol i only know him from broadway, i just thought it was hilarious. does he sing on the show? (ps my question may have come a cross as mad but it was more just lik omg rofl. sorry if it might have come a cross at mad, love the vids! watched all of them in one night :] )

[damienlocutus]

Caffeine is an awesome addiction provided you learn how to handle it properly. It has amazing properties, but will be counterproductive if you drink too much, it will only be a substitute for sleep temporarily, and can interfere with healthy sleep if consumed too close to bed time.

It's one of my favorite things, but as with every drug, start small and pay attention to your body.

[SquareEyesSpyguy]

Umm... kool.. we didn't really talk about the political issue of who harvests all that coffee for the big economic super powers.. I spose that's probably awkward to mention?

[LudwigNyman]

I still wonder why people drink it, as it looks like diarrhea and certainly tastes that way. Guess it's really more of a smoking thing, where you talk yourself into it tasting nice.

[BlackDemonXtrme]

Awesome. thanks 

[UltraFAM17]

My complaint:

My brain is still in my head; it is not pouring out my ears like it did on all the other videos.

[WCGwkf]

do you always talk this fast or just in your videos? just curious

[rck890]

I have a weird reaction to the stuff. I get zits, I have to shit like crazy, and my muscles get all cramped up.

[MrAL3X2468]

i like how he said a addiction was a video game and it was Minecraft. LOL, bth MINECRAFT IS AWESOME!!!!!!!

[MrAL3X2468]

Kinda like Vsauce.

[KELL3TT]

i believe i am addicted to ur videos

[dclogik]

It's not all positive. Coffee is a diuretic. It also heightens stress.

[KaiserKlay]

Don't know if this is a mis-conception but, I heard large amounts of caffeine stunts growth. I assume this isn't true but...

[SuperKnucklesFan]

Hyvä Suomi! :p

[LadyLulubell12]

I learn more from these videos than I do from school and I am one of those people who pays attension.

[xJoeBrox37]

@LadyLulubell12 try vsauce

[SuperAmericanloser]

@LadyLulubell12 If you really payed ATTENTION, you would  have better grammar. Cocaine is the best addiction ever. According to people that are hooked on it!!

[MrChaos424242]

@LadyLulubell12 I use to pay attention then I realized I wasn't learning anything.

[IrishStudentVidz]

@LadyLulubell12 *attention.

[impieman10]

I cannot believe you didn't mention Brazil even once in the video...

you see, our history is bathed in coffee, infact there was a time brazil was ruled by coffee, also, we were doomed by coffee and saved by coffee, there was a time we had so much coffee we bought our own coffee, coffee were once included in our taxes, coffee are given to primary school children and elderly alike!

[DeathbyInformation]

You ought to make a distinction when mentioning health benefits: you'll spoil any protection from cardiovascular disease and diabetes specifically if you consistently drink those ridicuous 1000kcal Starbucks frankencoffees.

I've always been told that drinking coffee makes it harder for you to concentrate. Could you explain why coffee actually has the reverse effect?
