Does drinking 8-12 cups of Coffee a day mean you're addicted?!


Question: Does drinking 8-12 cups of Coffee a day mean you're addicted?
I drink a hell of a lot of Coffee and I feel good for it. However, I don't know whether I'm addicted or just whatever, because I won't drink it without milk. I like white Coffee... But i seem to get a real buzz from drinking loads of Coffee...

Like the other day I was peed off, and as soon as I'd had a few cups I sort of felt hyper and quite happy again. So yeah, is it an addiction or what?

Thanks...

You say that like it's a bad thing.

If you're not having problems sleeping at night, don't worry about it.

It's been around for thousands of years. It's not like somebody is making it out in their garage.

The effects of caffeine are well known and desirable.
People like to scare you to make themselves feel less unimportant.
Chicken Little lives.

I would get my morning coffee through an IV drip if I could.



Caffeine is addictive in the sense that if you go a day without your coffee, you will get headaches, but that is about all. Coffee is a diaretic, so you need to drink that much more water to make up for this to stay healthy. It can make you feel like you have a burst of energy, but like sugar, it is short lived and then you *crash*, so a healthy diet is better for steady energy. Caffeine can affect some medications and/or health conditions. You are drinking a lot of caffeine..so if you are concerned at all try drinking half coffee, half decaf.



I guess it is, normally you would eat 2-3 cups a day. maybe you should try something else to make you energetic, because balance is needed.



dude your addicted. If your drinking more then 3 coffees a day your addicted.

Best thing to do to check is not drink coffee for a day, if you feel like crap and you get a headache then your addicted...



Oh my. If you are drinking that much coffee, you could have a caffeine addiction (which is very hard to get by the way). Its more of a mental thing but dang. You should probably stop. That's extremely bad for you.



yeah, minimize it. drinking too much can cause several health problems. especially to your nervous system.. :)



It is addiction



You are addicted. 8-12 cups a day is not good



Of course it is. And it's by all means very unhealthy, too.
