There oughta be a law!

I read somewhere recently that coffee/tea/Dew/Monster/whatever very quickly becomes an addiction that can cause fairly serious withdrawal symptoms; that's why you need it at around the same time each day. A morning pick-me-up is actually just to get you back to how you would have been if you had never started drinking it regularly.
Dunno how true that is. I've never liked tea or coffee myself so don't have much experience, though I know my Spanish teacher was like a bear with a sore head if she hadn't had a cup of caffeine that morning.
Papersatan:
Caffeine is definitely addictive and those who consume it regularly go through symptoms of withdrawal, one of the most common of which is headache. The secret ingredient in Excedrin, marketed at the pain killer for headaches, is caffeine.
Barmymoo:
I once accused my mum of being addicted to caffeine and she determined to go three days without drinking tea to prove me wrong. After three hours she felt so ill she had to have a cup.
nekowafer:
Yep, I'm working through caffiene withdrawal now. I still drink a little soda each day but not nearly as much as I did. And I'm still getting headaches almost every day. I do use Excedrin if I really need it, because no other medications seem to help much. But I try to avoid that as well, because of the caffeine, though I'm guessing it's less than in soda?
Carl-E:
Check the label, but I'm pretty sure it's a massive dose, which will only help with withdrawl symptoms temporarily.
