    Drug addiction is only negative if it causes you problems in life, and I’d say that coffee doesn’t really cause me problems in life.

      Iirc coffee addiction worsens sleep quality and costs money. It’s not like blocking your body from being tired can really be beneficial.

          One of the reasons I was able to argue my ADHD was impacting my life negatively was the fact I was drinking enough coffee to hurt my health just to feel human and I still had executive dysfunction, so stimulants would be more effective and overall work as harm reduction. Now I’m not even on stimulants (technically), I’m finding bupropion works best for me. I still have a small cup of coffee in the morning, as it keeps me regular.

            I think, if left to my own devices, I will have about 2-6 cups of instant coffee in a day depending on my mood. Though I don’t think there’s much caffeine in it? I never thought about howwww much caffeine was going in, but maybe that’s because it doesn’t do much for me besides helping focus (poorly at that).

        Depends on how addicted. People tend to conflate 1 cup in the morning with 6 throughout the day because they both use them as a pick me up.

        4 cups of coffee a day is fine

        Coffee also is high in polyphenols - the benefits almost certainly outweigh the drawbacks. Just don’t drink coffee after the morning.

          There are plenty of other sources for polyphenols - including tea, but also chocolate, qinoa, buckwheat etc.

          There is no need to drink coffee in order to replenish polyphenols in your body.

          And drawbacks are huge: aside from broken sleep, caffeine puts a giant strain on cardiovascular and other systems, and in people with caffeine addiction, not having their cup leads to high irritability, sleepiness, dizziness, and a lot of other symptoms.

            There are plenty of studies displaying improved cardiovascular health in those who drink 1-4 cups of coffee a day.. Generally, cardiovascular risks of caffeine from coffee are not important for the average person’s health decisions.

            In addition, there is a good argument for caffeine prior to exercise - it improves performance and therefore results and therefore health outcomes.

            Also tea has caffeine as well (technically dark chocolate too, but less than tea so not really a concern).

            And again, the solution to sleep issues are to not have caffeine (tea, coffee, or otherwise) more than a few hours after you wake up.

            Withdrawal symptoms are not a major concern - they are temporary at best.

            Edit: there are plenty of sources of polyphenols - but frankly the average American does not get nearly enough generally. If you have a typical American diet, I would not recommend quitting coffee as a health measure unless you have already drastically increased consumption of polyphenols generally.

        True. I can’t drink unlimited quantities of coffee without having negative effects, as such I limit myself to two cups a day, one in the morning and one after lunch.

          I would love to drink one cup of coffee a day but any amount of coffee will amplify my anxiety. I drink once I’m cured

      I get anxiety issues from Coffee and tend to feel completely exhausted at the end of days. I try to ditch it and mostly replace it with Jasmine Tea, Oolong or Yerba Mate

        I like Yerba Mate, but I dare not drink it that much on account of the absolutely massive caffeine content it has (granted you drink it bombilla-style).

          Idk what the issue with too much caffeine is. Like, even my math teacher told me to be caucious but I dont feel exhausted at the end of the day like on Coffee.

          But I try to mostly use Jasmine tea for now.

          Dehydrated with a liquid that is made of 99% water? I’ve been told a long time ago that this is a myth, but frankly, I don’t know.
