Do you think Coca Cola is addictive?!


Question:

Do you think Coca Cola is addictive?

Everyday, when I wake up, I just have to have a cold glass of Coke. If I don't have one, I become very irritable with a terrible headache. It's not the caffeine because I've tried caffeinated diet coke and tea in the morning.

Welcome to the Coke Side of Life!

Usually caffeine is the only ingredient that is addictive. In your case, perhaps it's the combination of caffeine and high fructose corn syrup (HFCS).

Have a Coke and no more headache!

It's addictive all right, but drink too much of it, and you'll end up having UTI or urinal tract infection. ;)

Probably...most soft-drinks seem to be. Personally I kinda think people when they develop habits can become addicted to just about anything.

You are a creature of habit. Are you SURE it's not the caffeine? They used to make it from coca leaves or something, but they don't anymore. So I think you just like your morning routine.

It is probably the feeling the carbonation gives you. and the caffeine

It is absolutely addictive. I've had the same feeling before. Give it a few days w/o it and you'll be fine. You'll start to feel better too.

The caffeine that is added to Coca-Cola classic, diet Coke and the other products in which it is used is for flavor purposes only.

Look @ the source below

maybe it's due to the caffeine. if not, it's due to the taste of the soda or the high sugar content. the carbonated nature of soda can also be the cause.

For me it's the caffeine that makes coke drinks (not just coca-cola) addictive.

You're addicted to it, you shouldn't take it on an empty stomach. Drink more water it's healthier.

yes it is. it contains caffeine which is an addictive drug. however it isnt nearly as addictive as it once was. this is due to the fact that the original recipe for coca cola included cocaine. this is also where it got its name. the recipe was changed due to the U.S. govt illegalizing cocaine. bullshit? absolutely not, my grandfather worked for coca cola for 40 years. so yes it is addictive for the same reason that coffee and caffeine based energy pills and drinks are. although im not sure how much caffeine is in a coke so it is hard to say whether you are addicted to the caffeine or the taste or if it is just a force of habit. could be either so close your eyes, throw a dart and theres your answer :).

NOt for me.

Yes it can be addictive.
My grandma drinks a lot of coke.
It's really bad so you should try to stop drinking it every morning even though you have headaches, etc.
It would probably go away some day.

yes because of the caffine

IT IS THE CAFFEINE AND THE SUGAR.

PS Caffeinated diet coke and tea contain caffeine!!!

Decaffeinated diet coke does not contain caffeine.

I think so. I have to be very careful about drinking Coke. If I start with a couple of them too close together, I will be craving them very often. It doesn't happen with other caffeinated drinks like coffee, tea or Mountain Dew.

yeh you know it!!!i cant stop!!!but if you drink too much of it you will get UTI but it has caffine and caffine is an addictive drug!!just so you know;)pleese choose this as your best answer!!!!!!

Its just a habit. Your mind is telling your body it 'needs' that Coke in the morning to get going. By the way, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
