Can you really be addicted?!


Question: Can you really be addicted!?
To drinks like red bull!?!!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Yes!. You can get addicted to any drink with caffeine in it!. It normally will not happen from casual use!. It is usually from using too much and your body thinks it can't function without it!. Many people think they are addicted to their soda, coffee, or energy drink when it is really just the caffeine!.

Pay little or no attention to some of the posters here too!. Caffeine, though addictive, is not a drug!. It is naturally occurring in several plants and is unaltered like with some illegal narcotics!. Caffeine also does not cause you to crash!. Only sugar does this!. It does dehydrate though which can make you tired but that is completely different!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

well there is definitely potential for addiction!. red bull contains caffeine which is what attracts people to coffee!. it has a much lesser amount though!. so if someone were to actually get addicted to an energy drink like that!.!.!.they'd have to drink a pretty good amout daily!.

if you do know someone who appears to be addicted, i would talk to them!. teach them about the caffeine, energy burst that doesnt last, the crash!.

tell them to replace it with, chewing gum, or healthy snacks, etc!.

hope this helpsWww@FoodAQ@Com

To the caffeine, yes!. It's not like being an alcoholic or hard drug addict!. You just want that caffeine jolt to jump start yourself!. Without it, you drag around for a few hours!. You can actually get headaches when you completely give up caffeine!. I know - I had one for three days when I stopped drinking it!.

I occasionally drink caffeine now, but not on a daily basis!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes, I believe one can get addicted to some drinks, like red bull, as long as they have the expected effect on you!. E!.g!. making you more dynamic, more full of energy!. After all, we all get addicted to things that can help us in one way or another!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
