Keep in mind that if you quit coffee but still smoke and drink alcohol, those addictions will aggravate and make you feel much worse, because caffeine boosts the metabolism to help purge the system of other poisons. It's a catch-22 situation and the only real solution is complete abstinence, which basically means pissing off all your friends or moving to an amish farm.
yes i have the dependency, i have tried quitting 4 times but i havent been able to longer than 1 week.
I have used very small cups (half a normal mug) in the morning so that i limit the intake, but the need for it every morning is without fail.
when i do quit for the few days or so, i feel my energy and concentration lasts longer, my mood is better, and generally i work better longer rather than for a short period.
As far as I would tell, do not feel bad about consuming like really small amounts of caffeine, that is not the problem. I mean, you still want to be able to eat a bit of chocolate or so, but the problem comes when you really NEED it - you know, dependency...that is when it sucks.
I know how under stress caffeine put me, but you realize that to the biggest part only after you have quitted and feel much better. Feel free to post more if you have any questions or so. Good luck!
Very informative! I quit coffee this morning and am just doing a little research on what to expect as far as withdraws. I did eat a mini reeses peanut butter cup without thinking abut the chocolate containing caffeine, but it was a small amount I'm sure.
You better believe that caffeine impairs driving ability. Yes, not as bad as alcohol, but you are more likely to engage in hazardous and impulsive actions.
Therefore, another driver cuts you off - what will you do? Well, chances are you'll get aggressive and fire back too.
Ok then by your standards driving while thirsty impairs your driving ability because you might be more impulsive trying to get to the fast food place faster. Driving during hot weather without A/C? You're completely and utterly impaired. I mean you should be arrested for DUI!
I'm starting PACD: people against caffeinated driving.
How many caffeine-addicted people have you heard of being on welfare because of it? Compare that to alcoholics.
I did not say that those drugs cause the same effects, but they are all drugs, have millions of addicts around the world and are negative for the body and the nervous system.
Yes, I'd rather have my co-driver on caffeine than on alcohol, but the rest is much the same.
And please, decide if you want to discuss or if you want to insult. You show a very scientific approach to discussion, so thanks for that.
Saying "caffeine and alcohol are both drugs" is like saying "jaywalking and serial rape/murder are both crimes". Both statements can be defended with cold, hard logic and bulletproof arguments. But are they a fair assessment of the situation? No.
And if the rest is much the same, how many deaths by caffeine have you heard of? What about alcohol intoxication?
I don't mean to attack your integrity by insulting you, but seriously, do you listen to yourself when you talk?
I do not say that alcohol and caffeine have the same effects in deaths of people, but they are both drugs as they are substances that the body gets used and eventually addicted to.
That to me is the defintion of a drug - something that people get addicted to, they can not go without. Why else do you think that about 90% of American adults drink their coffee every morning?
Yes lads,she does have nice legs, i would take her out for a coffee any day.

I think that Sandy knows what she is talking about...I kind of agree.
Look - what is the difference between alcohol and caffeine addiction? The difference is just the substance you are addicted to.

Caffeine doesn't predispose one to sexual activity and impair driving ability. They're not even the same ball park.
Your retarded. Yes 'your'. You don't even deserve proper grammar.

Caffeine
- causes stomach to produce more acid
- Caffeine addiction involves nervousness, irritability, agitation, headaches
- Makes your blood more `sludgy' by raising the level of fatty acids in the blood.

What I want to say is this: They are both addiction, and I want to help people with getting rid of their caffeine addiction.
I do not say that it is as bad as alcohol addiction, but it is another addiction that people can suffer from.
I hope you get my point, anyway thanks for your input.
