Can you get addicted to decaf coffee?!


Question:

Can you get addicted to decaf coffee?

My mom used to drink caffinated coffee and now she swiched to decaf but feels that she is addicted to this. She wants to know if that is possible. Is it?


Answers:
Although it says decaf it is impossible to get all the caffine out if the coffee. So there is always some amount of caffine in decaf. And Caffine is an addictive stimulant. So yes, it is possible to be addicted to coffee caffinated or not. She probably drinks a lot more decaff than regular to get some sort of effect from it too.

yes...my cousin is so addicted to coffee..and starbucks and shes only 15!

Yes, it is because there is still a small amount of caffeine in Decaf. It is impossible for the two kinds of "decaffination" processes to completely get rid of all the caffeine.

decaf just means theres less caffeine, so she can still be somewhat attached to decaf

There are two types of addiction : psychological and physical. You can get psychologically addicted to almost anything.
