Answers:
Yes, you can. I tried to stop drinking coffee and got horrible headaches. My doctor told me that it was caffeine withdrawl. It's the caffeine that one becomes addicted to.

Yes

Coffee isn't addictive, but the caffeine in it is.

No, you're addicted to the caffeine. My dad has to have two cups every morning or he gets a head splitting headache.

I believe that to be true. I know I drink too much coffee and sometimes get a slight headache if I don't get my afternoon "fix".

yes, you can become addicted to anything.

The caffeine in coffee is what's addicting. If your dad has a routine of having two cups in the morning and the same at night then he has that caffeine in his system. Take away your dads coffee and you'll notice that he has headaches, shaking and agitation, because he's needing that caffeine. Caffeine is as addictive as nicotine.

Coffee has caffine which is very addictive but do not consider it a bad habbit like smoking. You should go online and find web sites that talk about caffine addiction and maybe talk to your dad 2 cups of tea instead of coffee.

You can get addicted to almost anything that makes you feel good. Food, computer games, TV, sleep, drugs, etc.

you didn't watch "MadTV" did you? There is a caffiene-stoked coffee-addict and this guy is an exemple what could happen if you had a cup of coffee to much.

sure, it's the caffeine

yes it is possible to get addicted 2 coffee but i don't think just for cups a day would give you withdraws i'd say you would ha+ce 2 be drinking at least 20 odd cups a day ok good luck

Yes you can become addicted to coffee. Actually it is the caffiene in the coffee. Lack of caffiene can make someone really grumpy and grouchy.

coffee has caffeine.caffeine is addictive.therefore,coffee is addictive..

The caffeine in the coffee can be very addictive. Coffey is also not good for your bladder so you might need to try and get your dad to slow down.

It's the caffine he is addicted to. He will probably be grumpy if he has decafinated coffee too.

God I hope so. Seriously caffeine is addictive. And there is More of it in tea then coffee. Most Americans (myself included) drink two cups in the morning and will experience minor withdrawal if they stop
