Coffee Addiction

Caffeine is addictive, and yes it is a drug, and YES it is a component of your "harmless" coffee. Coffee has gained alot of popularity all over the world in recent years. Woke up in the morning- a coffee, back from a jog- a coffee, leaving for office- a coffee, arrived at office- a coffee, coffee break at work- a coffee, working over time- a coffee, got back home late from work- a coffee, need to stay up late to finish work- a coffee.

You might feel that one cup of coffee can't harm you much. Its just one cup, and everyone drinks coffee. Well, here's your mistake. Your one cup of coffee actually multiplies the number of times you drink it in one day! Coffee addicts just need an excuse to gulp down a cup of coffee. What you don't realise is coffee is extremely addictive. Though its a mild form of addiction and doesn't do much harm, but it is addiction and any kind of addiction is bad.

Agreed, it does give you that kick you need in the morning to wake up, but there are alternatives to coffee too. The caffeine in the coffee is what is responsible for your addiction. You might think you aren't addicted to coffee but try skipping coffee once at the regular time you have it daily and you'll see how deep you are into coffee. The harder your head tears apart, the bigger an addict you are.

It all started at that one cup of coffee when you were 8. As years pass, coffee intake increases and addiction sets in. There will come, a point(or has the point already come?) when you no longer can live a few hours without coffee. Coffee becomes as essential, a part of you as your brain and your heart. Scientists say even 1 cup of coffee daily is enough to get you "hooked on" within a few months.

Caffeine addiction is quite a serious affair. Nearly every person who drinks coffee is addicted to it. The most affected groups are the college students who need to stay awake all night to study for their exams which are a few days away just because they decided to shoot hoops all year when they were actually supposed to study and the office goers are also the ones affected by coffee addiction because they don't realise when they down multiple mugs of coffee while doing their overtime. Coffee just induces temporary mental alertness, but in turn it causes alot of physical tiredness and fatigue. You must pay the price while choosing the easy way out, In the same way: relying on coffee for last moment exam preparations or staying up all night to get those overtime $$$, it is going to cost you.
