Addiction To Coffee Is A Myth.
It's not like smoking, it's coffee for Pete's sake, people keep cigarettes on them, coffee you have to go out and get, after you get it, you're good until the next day.

Actually, people are not addicted to coffee. Its the caffene in the coffee. If you drink any pepsi or mtn. Dew you would feel the same.

But, the cops drink coffee with their doughnuts so....it is not bad to do. Just addictive and nice in the morning to get motivated to accomplish something worthwhile with your life for a change.

Bottoms up ;-) here's mud - I mean coffee - in yer eye - ;-)

Well if u think about it, you are not really getting addicted to the coffee itself, its more the caffeine that's hooked u.

I think addiction to coffee and anything else for that matter is not true. People brainwash themselves into thinking these things because doctors give them these excuses. I really do not believe anyone is addicted to anything. If you wanted , repeat wanted to quit something, you would. It is very simple. The brain is a powerful and easily persuaded organ. You must convince it that you do not want the coffee, therefore you won't.

Coffee contains caffine. Caffine is a drug. Drugs are addictive. In short, coffee is addictive. The same applies to tea, chocolate and hot chocolate.

Many have a "chemical dependence" on this substance. If that's not an addiction than I don't know what is. You can bee addicted to anything and coffee seems to be a popular addiction.

I disagree. Why do you think it's called a "Coffee break"? People need to have their coffee fix.... I should know I am a coffee addict.

Also, why "go out and get it" when they manufacture "Coffee Makers" which allow you to brew coffee right in your own home!

I disagree. Coffee addiction is not a myth. It is a fact. It exists. Whether the addiction is to the caffeine or to the habit. It doesn't matter. It is an addiction.

You are misinformed; As many others have said, caffeine is a drug. Besides, try living with a 37 year old woman who works night shifts as a nurse, and then tell me addiction to caffeine is not real. (For her not to have coffee is to have sharply filed fangs at your neck..*Shudder*)

Caffeine is a drug. Not as dangerous as others but still a drug.

You can become addicted to anything that stimulates your brain... Of course since your brain is a mythical creature you should only let out if their is a powerful enough leash to hold onto it with... Caffeine is probably as addictive as tobacco but it really comes down to the person.

Obviously the poster doesn't know what he's talking about and has never drunk a lot of coffee.

Caffeine is what people get addicted to, and the headaches one gets from withdrawal are nasty. This is one substance you don't go cold turkey from, you gradually cut down.

Addiction usually involves obsession. Do you really think people are obsessed by it?
