Researchers agree that regular caffeine consumption may cause a physical dependence; in other words, coffee, if drunk consistently is addictive. They cite common withdrawal symptoms such as crankiness, headaches, lethargy, etc. from lack of caffeine to support their claim. Some doctors have classified caffeine withdrawal as a mental disorder! Now before you throw out your coffee maker you should know that since there is very little scientific research establishing boundaries and hard parameters around this, it should be taken with a grain of salt. What we do know is that coffee is a stimulant and that abruptly quitting coffee can produce mild withdrawal symptoms, even if you drink as little as 100 milligrams of caffeine a day.

Who said there’s something wrong with being a coffee addict anyways? Drinking coffee improves concentration, keeps you alert, and can even help with short term memory. It sure beats crack, heroin, and nicotine doesn’t it? Besides, drinking coffee makes you look smarter and more cultured, and is good for you if you’re athletic.

Some funny coffee addict jokes… You Know You’re a Coffee Addict If:
