Do you believe you have a caffeine addiction?

Orgazmo · 03-04-2004, 03:38 PM

My vote gets thrown at 'yes'...though I can't be sure. You see, I intake so much caffeine constantly that it's been awhile since I've been without for a long period of time. This said, it's tough to know how a day without would go. I'll assume it would be terrible.

I used to have a huge problem with Mountain Dew, I've kicked that.

But since then, I've taken up quite a liking for Red Bull. I only have about one Red Bull per week, so I'd hardly call it an addiction.

Ditto.

But if I need caffeine, I usually turn to those drinks that I have no idea what their names are. But they are named like Meteor, Rain, and other odd names. They come in the tall metallic bottles The name slips me even when they are right in front of me.

Mmmm... coffee. If I start to go more than a day or so without caffine, I get headaches.

I addicted to mountain dew currently.

I'm addicted to mountain dew. In eighth grade I would have about 80-100 ounces of it every day. I'm now pretty much immune to the effects, but if I don't get any, I get bad headaches.

Hm, im starting to wonder if some recent headaches werent due to caffeine deprivation.

Saint DH · 03-04-2004, 10:38 PM

They probably were. I knew someone who was addicted to caffeine and once they stopped they got massive headaches.

Nathan · 03-04-2004, 10:53 PM

Do they make caffeine patches?

Combat Chuck · 03-05-2004, 01:53 AM

If they haven't, then I'm on it. If this thread is any indication, I'd make a fortune on those things.

And yes, I'd have to use it on myself.

They probably dont because you can get caffeine in the forms of so many other things besides just pop.

Yeah, like freebasing coffee grounds.

yeah, I definitely think I have a caffeine addiction. When I decided to give up the stuff for Lent, it's totally screwing me up. I'm tired all the time and get headaches a lot more.

Withdrawal's a bitch.
