What I read. You must have had some really strict parents!
There oughta be a law that treats all psychoactive drugs equally. Seriously guys, caffeine might be the least harmful psychoactive drug in existence, but being addicted to anything is not good. If you think you need caffeine to wake up, or to stay focused, it's just the habituation that keeps you sluggish, and the caffeine only serves to bring you back to normal levels of alertness. Avoid caffeine for a few days, and you'll be rid of it completely.
Rockman:
I was completely caffeine-free for two years. Not a drop from beginning of senior year in high school to beginning of sophomore year in college. I don't remember exactly at this point but everyone here seems to be saying withdrawal symptoms for about 2-3 days and that sounds about right.
During withdrawal I kept daydreaming and picturing a can of Coke and imagining the sound when you open one. Never mind the headaches. Not fun.
I don't think I'm as badly addicted now as I was as a teenager -- now if I forget to have coffee in the morning (which often happens on my day off) I'll get pretty mild headaches and not until evening.
TheEvilDog:
I've never been one for drinking lots of tea, except when I'm painting. Most of the time, its something like a cup at 4pm and then another at around 8pm. Often enough though, I go several days or weeks without even thinking "Hmmm, best have some tea."
I'll stop rambling now.
Method of Madness:
I love tea and coffee, but I don't like it hot. I'll only drink it iced. But ice is all I add, I don't put milk or sugar in it. Everyone thinks I'm strange for drinking black iced coffee (I once had a guy at Dunkin' Donuts ask if I was sure I didn't want cream or sugar in it, and then try to convince me that I did), but it's delicious.
Carl-E:
I'm only able to drink tea, there's an amino acid in coffee that I have a strong negative reaction to - which is a shame, I love the stuff.
But the tea has to be hot. Can't stand the stuff iced.
