You Love It ?, But It Doesn't Love You

Hello All.

Most of the human population consumes caffeine in one form or another daily. This makes it the world's most popular drug. Drug? Well, you won't black out and wake up in Atlantic City nest to a Barbie doll if you overdo it on caffeine, but too much will still damage your health. Any chemical that affects your behavior and how you feel is technically classified as a drug.

You can get addicted to caffeine easily. This writer happens to be caffeine-dependant, meaning that if I don't have at least four cups of black tea a day, I get migraines and the shakes. Yup - those are withdrawal symptoms. They can only be alleviated by - you guessed it - eating or drinking with caffeine in it.

It is because of this effect that some religious sects, like the Mormons, ban their followers from consuming any kind of caffeine. Caffeine is also found in chocolate and some painkillers.

This caffeine dependence disturbs your sleep patterns, which affects your body's overall health, including raising your blood pressure, causing digestive difficulties and mood swings. Cutting back on caffeine can help you feel better overall. I used to drink the equivalent of three liters of Pepsi per day, now I'm down to four cups of tea. And yes, I sleep better and have less stomach upsets. You need to be aware of how much caffeine you consume in a day.
Thanks.

Yes, that's called a girl. There's a lot of those out there.

I used Acai berries to kick my caffeine addiction. Now I have more money than Bill Gates and women knock my balls farther than Tiger Woods.

4 cups of TEA what a pussy.

Talk to me when you have 3/4 a pot of coffee in the morning, a grand Starbucks drink mid afternoon, and usually a cola drink at lunch.

Tea....LOLOLOLOL

I used to be a federal employee, caffeine addiction is a prerequisite. When the Navy desings a new building, the first two items are teh coffee mess and the bathrooms.

I kicked the habit once. I was in the hospital and on morphine . . .

Now I try to limit the caffiend off his leash only on Wednesday mornings, but he gets out more often than that.

Best regards,
Wede
