[Courtney]

Caffeine is undoubtedly a drug..... if it wasn't a drug you wouldn't have withdrawal when you try to stop!

[clevich]

I would consider it a drug only if in copious amounts. You'd be suprised at how sick you get after your hyperness dies down.

[Hero.Skye]

Doctors say that coffee (caffiene and such) is more addictive then pot. Who would have known hey.

[Joanne]

did you know that caffeine can be classified as a methylxanthine and can help people with bronchitis by inhibiting phosphodiesterase, therefore increasing cyclic-amp and later relaxing smooth muscles with a net effect of bronchodilation???

I guess when it's put it in those terms, it really does sound like an actual drug eh?!

New studies from Japan show that drinking sensible (who knows how much that is) amounts of coffee in a week can help prevent liver cancer!!!

[dapimpstress]

dude are u joking? i seriously hope ur joking...


of course its a drug.

[Cdn_Brdr]

All of you "I haven't had coffee in such and such a time" people make it sound like it's some sort of debilitating evil dependency.

I can go with or without.... I happen to enjoy my coffee! I mean I don't drink coffee to wake up so much as because I simply enjoy it.

[Zêus]

Over 1000 deaths per year from coffee related ulsers, heart attacks, and over-doses.

It's a drug, and it's addiction potential and dangers are equatable with marijuana.

For some (me included) it actually is. A lot of people can testify to that.

[wum]

does Starbucks still make their ice cream bars?

A lot of more favorable research it out there for green tea, and although it contains caffiene, it's not as much as coffee, and the health benefits of it are better than that of coffee (anti oxidants!)

So if you can't give up caffiene completely, try to limit coffee and drink more stuff like green teas. It's especially good if you're trying to lose weight because you don't add cream and sugar to green tea, just drink it straight up, yo.

Well since i now get an adverse reaction to stimulants, the coffee sketch always stopped me from drinking too much.. BUT now im all over this tea thing and its like the nectur of life.. Only thing keeping me awake and working

EXACTLY.. i love it, i feel like it clears my throat, a nice smooth energy, makes me feel great, although makes me really thirsty

[Goodfellow]

I never understood the whole caffeine thing, I have never noticed any difference in feeling/energy/whatever if I drink coffee or if I don't drink coffee.. which is why I never drink it.

[Haze]

FOR SURE! and I KNOW I am addicted!

- ë

[pbreak]

there is no drug in coffee, it's all lies... just keeping drinkin it and you'll be just fine.. drink lots and lots and lots and lots...

[Only_Glory]

i have an amazing amount of caffine inside me, i am basicly pretty much a drug.

caution: i can cause addiction.

[penguinabc123]

i used to drink 4-6 cups a day, then one day i decided to cut back and not have any, sure enough i started haveing crazy anxiety attacks, started sweating and going pretty much beserke,
no good, dont stop cold turkey hot damn

[rawb]

i cut out caffeine (except for occasional can of coke) at 17.
sleep deprivation is much easier to handle and much more useful.
you can feel refreshed on 4hours of naps.
you can change your sleep cycles much easier.
huge reduction in feeling run down or zombied.

I just read a big thing on caffeine in the national geographic. Did you know that:


1 espresso shot has less caffeine than a cup of black tea and that you would need to drink 7 shots to equal the amount of caffeine that is in one cup of light coffee.

But yes, caffine is a drug.

That's just to make coffee drinkers feel better. Green tea is 2948627x better for you.
