i'm like addicted to the stuff.  and just fall asleep and are depressed on days i can't have it.  nicotine too.  but caffeine is wayy worse.

like i don't even crave nicotine unless i have that first cup of coffee  :-\

I love caffeine

but I got arrhythmia :(

so I'm supposed to stay out of it..

used to drink 2-3 cups of coffee every day..

I only *like* beverages which *contain* caffeine - especially coffee... I can't get enough of it... :) I don't know how bad my addiction is, because I never tried to wean myself from these precious beverages.

But in fact I have no clue about what's the taste of pure caffeine. I'm even not sure if I'd try given the opportunity... so I can't say if I like the substance itself.

ya.ya.yo!

it's not bad.  take a caffeine anhydrous pill, then drink a cup of decaf.

BINGO!!  ;D

Is not caffeine one of the major food groups?

Caffeine isn't addicting, coffee is.

Wrongo, Boyo!

Caffeine use creates at least a dependence:

Coffee is related closely to cocaine and also chocolate comes from the same plant.  No wonder that coffee and chocolate are addictive.

why can't we tolerate cocaine use in this country?

It doesn't do much for me most of the time, but that first cup of espresso in the morning can help open my eyes. That, I like. Mostly I'm just addicted to coffee and tea. Doesn't really matter if I like it. :)

I'm used to drinking a few cups of coffee a day. If I can't, I get a headache. It's bad.

an expresso will give me nausea and vertigo.. i like coffee, but not caffeine.

I drink coffee from dawn until dusk with no ill effects.

if you're hooked on caffeine, then there are ill effects. i know people who chug it down, and when they don't get their fix, they get headaches.

i like it too but i like others mentioned had to stop

I drank way too much coffee once and it does make you feel ill 1 - 2 a day is safe, anything more regularly and you're asking for trouble.

do u like 5 hour enercachoo?

what is enercachoo?

caffeine addict here

Meh, I've been drinking lots of coffee everyday for many years. I sometimes go days here and there without drinking any, never have problems. I also smoke a pack or 1.5 packs a week of cigarettes, but often abstain from smoking on the weekends. No ill effects there, either. I think it varies from person to person -- addiction, tolerance, etc.

Once upon a time, I overdosed on caffeine. From there, I learnt my lessons about dealing with caffeine.

After that, I lowered down my intake of caffeine to about 180-400 mg per day.

Never heard of a caffeine overdose. I guess I never quite took it to that level, LOL..... now my tolerance must be so high. So what happened when you overdosed? Symptoms?

I did vomit after like day 2 which made everything a lot better as there was still a LOT of caffeine in my vomit, hallucinations (or really weird dreams, not sure if I was awake or asleep), fast heartbeat, and massive confusion. I also believe I was massively dehydrated as well.

In reality, I took the equivalent of more than 37 redbulls of caffeine in less than an hour period. I've learnt my lesson. (~3 grams)

Coffee is cheap and I like the taste.  I can get 24 oz of ground premium coffee for maybe $15.

Theobromine / Roasted Cocoa is healthier and doesn't have any of the negative overload or withdrawal symptoms but it's costs twice as much.   24 oz of Crio Bru will set me back $28.   It's also not as tasty as coffee, like you have to add milk or sugar to make it taste like hot chocolate or else you get stuck with a bitter watery drink.

it still gives me a kick. i'm quite addicted to the taste of coffee by now, so it's hard to say that it's just the addiction to caffeine. but when you're addicted to something, it's hard to tell what you "like" and what you're "addicted to" and where the line is...

I need caffeine to get rid of migraines occasionally.  I don't drink sodas, tea, or coffee, but in summertime I get headaches and caffeine is the instant cure.

Are you sure it's not just dehydration? Have you just tried drinking water instead?

i really *like* it, yeah.

The smell and aroma of coffee makes me happy and high. I can't live without it. And also I like the health benefits of caffeine.

I put the coffe things behind a glass where is written "break only in emergency situations". I only use when I really need to be awake for long, or if I sleeped few hours and need to stay awake and productive. I know its addictive and toxic, and if I use it too much, I might become addicted, and the effects will be weaker over time.


warning:

Cafeine is toxic, most animals and plants will die if exposed to caffeine. Humans have crazy resistance agaist it, but can die too if exposed to a high level of caffeine. Don't give coffe for your pet, and be extra carefull if you are going to take pure caffeine.


Example of caffeine death:

i prefer my own urine

At work the people who order coffee and stuff got de-caff one day accidentally.
so they poured it into the big tin of coffee that is just normal coffee (and not de-caff) to fool people, which is kinda stupid.

anyways so everyone is pouring themselves coffee and there like 'oh i need this stuff to wake me up'
so off they go to there desk... sipping away on their de-caffe.  I asked 30 mins later if it worked and everyones like 'yeah yeah i'm really alert now!!!'

I like coffee, but just the taste.. seems to have not much of an affect on me.. even really strong coffee.. I just enjoy the taste.

Yeah it's not dehydration.  I can load up on 2 liters of water and it doesn't help.  I vasodialate more when it's hot and that leads to instant migraine when its sunny.  If I hit a little bit of coke right as I feel it I can prevent it.

Headaches can also be a symptom of caffeine addiction - when you don't get your daily dose. But your use to cure migraine seems reasonable in your special case. As far as I recall, caffeine is also a component in some general medications against headaches.

ya.ya.yo!

I love it, I want it, I need it, COFFEE every morning!  :D

Its more like addicted then liking caffeine itself lol.

it's more like crack.  the effects wear off in like 3 minutes, and u want another cup

It doesnt wear off 3 mins lol. It lasts for an hr or more, then you start crashing down. But I get your point, its short.

But its the only natural drug besides cannabis.

I love caffeine.

-It's makes a tasty beverage in the form of coffee and certain teas
-gives me energy

and most important:
-keeps my bowel movement regular

I honestly can't remember the last time I had coffee. Am I the only one here who doesn't particularly like it? I mean, not counting bitmarket.io, who apparently prefers to drink his own urine, but he seems weird anyway. ;)

I avoid caffeine like the plague.  I used to drink a lot of pop and would get vicious headaches.  Cut out the caffeine and the headaches pretty much disappeared.  Not to mention, I sleep so much better without the caffeine intake.

There was a guy where I used to work that would drink a pot of coffee in a couple hours, had the shakes bad.

Perhaps he was not dedicated enough?

Its like method, u use it when your depressed.  Personally I like method better but its illegal

I don't like caffeine, I drink energy drink instead.

and what do you think energy drinks have in them? here's a hint: it starts with caf and ends with feine.

Possibly, LOL! He had a few other health issues that I'm sure contributed to his shakes. The pot of coffee was just over the top though, never seen someone consume so much coffee at a desk job.



Method?

5-MeO-DiPT?  that's illegal.  so is harmine

My day is not complete without caffeine.

i thought i typed in meth, but apparently iPhone knows better

LOL! I was kinda wondering if that was what you meant. Even the iPhone knows to stay away from meth. Never liked meth, hated the fact I could not go to sleep no matter what I did. At least with coke I could drink myself to sleep. My buddy got heavy into meth, wasn't pretty.

I used to be addicted. Had 10+ mugs a day every day.

When I finally took a break after about one day I got withdrawal symptoms that scared the hell out of me. I had stinging pains in my chest (only on the side of my heart) and headaches. Lasted for a few hours. Like most things caffeine is *not* harmless.

After that I stayed away from coffee/caffeine for three years. I take it again now though in lesser quantities... So I guess I'm a junkie after all.

caffeinated somehow its just great to start the activities in the morning, but getting too much? nahhh it just makes the hyperactive persons getting more active, the anxities more anoxious... so everything in adequate is good, but everything get overdose..just not good.

coffee and sugar are probably worse than cannabis.. sugar is probably the most deadly drug in the world.

sugar is not deadly.

grab a Coca-Cola(R) or Gatorade after a nice hot workout and you'll thank me  :P

sugar is not deadly huh?

diabetes is an epidemic.

that's like saying all the guys in the world are like this music video

I don't anymore.

I gave up drinking soda almost 6 months ago.

Coffee, well I could live with out that one. I almost never drink that.

try one soda a day.  i looked like a ripped bodybuilder but i drink it every day (after mental workouts).

That would be an issue if I drank caffeine regularly, but for 8 months a year I don't touch it and I don't get headaches.  Once the headaches start in the summer from the heat and bright light then I need the caffeine to rescue me.

i can only consume mild coffee.. i've had some of those capuchinos and it makes me nauseated as fuck. i can't imagine how nervous those people feel when they're always on it.

when will this goddamn threat close.  don't u know i love caffeine.  with all my heart.  but it must have cream and sugar in it.  unlike these pesky Adderall pills which i munch up (wish i head those).

Tim Hortons coffee. At least two large double-double each day.

i just do 7 eleven mocha iced coffee.. refill for $1.49.

i had it one time (they don't have it in Sarasota so i ordered it thru the mail).

might as well be spending money on Key West Company brand Key West pies.

(saw on the Executioner, i mean the profit?)

Classic nescafe everymorning and while I'm studying or in pc.
