Coke (as in cola...) contains caffiene: so is it possible to become addicted to it?!


Question: ...just a question i was wondering about the other day...


Answers: ...just a question i was wondering about the other day...

yes, it is quite easy to get addicted. not only CC is full of caffeine, but also has tons of sugar and artificial ... sweetness and E chemicals which make the effect even worse(i think there was an affair with cocaine but my brain might have made it up. ^^') my girlfriend was addicted to it not long ago. some people overdid it to the point where their liver(or another organ)'s health was threatened. same goes for a boss of one of my ex-coworkers. he was afraid of becocming an alcoholic so he drank CC and got "alcoholic" problems because of that.

People become addicted to heroine, marijuana, cigaretts, cofee, alcohol, internet, chocolate and who knows what else. usually it will be a something that has an effect of releasing endorphines or something in your brain. you know, the *love* hormone that is actually a hormone that makes us feel happiness and stuff like that? i doubt it's endorphine but for some obscure reason that word is stuck in my head.

yh

Yes, there have been TV documentaries about it.

Highly addictive. Myself and the other girl in work can't give up no matter how hard we try. It just tastes so good. Between that and coffee, i'm suprised i'm not hopping off the walls

It is! My friend drinks like 2 litres a day and can't stop!

Yes, I know someone that was addicted to it. He drunk around 9 cans a day. Just like coffee, anything with a high caffeine content in it becomes addictive. Plus it REALLY rotts your teeth

yes, caffiene is addictive in any form you consume it, although you don't have "withdrawls" unless you consume caffiene regularly at the same time every day for a long time, or consume a lot regularly.

some experts say it is a psychological addiction, but an addiction nevertheless.

My friend became addicted to Dr Pepper! I think you can get addicted but I also think it's more likely to be psychological than because of the caffeine. The amount of caffeine in a can of coke is small compared to coffee, for example.

Yes - most Americans are. Possibly there was no legislation against it when it was first marketed and made to a secret formula. Then so is coffee

Yeah, cos caffeine is a drug. You can actually become addicted to anything that you consume.

Absolutely. Caffeine is addictive. You can buy caffeine-free Coke, you know.

yes . which is basically the same with any caffeined drinks.

Do a google on "spiders on drugs" out of all the drugs they give them caffine is the worst

yes but worse than that coke dissolves bone and gum tissue try iced tea instead less caffiene and you get to keep your teeth!

yes, simply you can get addicted to just about anything. Too much of any one thing can be harmfull.

somewhat ild say we are all addicted to it, firstly, what would you say your average consumption of coke is to water, and how often when you go out to eat (like burger king, seeing as they take alcohol out of the equation) would you have coke with a meal, and have sprite or fanta for a change?

heres an interesting fact, most people know it nowadays, but back in the day coca cola actually used to add cocaine to coke to make it more addictive.

its popularity is also based allot on the advertising they use, such as celebrities in their adverts and back in the day, subliminal advertising.

personally, im a Pepsi girl!

Yeah caffeine is a drug even though it is a legal drug any drug has properties that are very addictive. You should see me if I don't have my coffee in the morning, looks like I was strung out on heroine

I'm addicted to Mountain Dew, another high caffiene pop, I've tried to stop numerous times but just this last time I was doing good for about a week and then I had a craving so bad I couldn't stand it and went to the grocery store at almost midnight to buy a 12 pack and 20 oz bottle of coke and dew. It's terrible! This week I'm trying to switch to green tea and hopefully that will help.

Anyone can get addicted to caffeine

HELL YES

If you drink enough who knows what could happen. To be safe dilute well with Vodka or Rum. (But only if you are old enough)

definetly.. caffenie is a very addivtive substane and belive me u can be addicted to coke!!!

Yes coke has high caffeine and many people are addicted to it.
