Are we becoming a nation of caffeine addicts?

Salaam ppl

Is caffeine addictive or has it just become a norm in our daily lives?
How much caffeine do you guys consume on a daily basis?
How many of us could give up caffeine forever?

I have attempted on numerous occasions to give up tea but have failed miserably every time. The longest I have gone without it is 6 months. The one thing I did notice when I wasn’t drinking tea anymore was that my mood and appetite picked up. At the present moment I have reduced my tea consumption to one cup a day (go me). For me its not so much about drinking tea to stay awake but having something warm in the morning as well as habit.

One thing I have noticed is that tea/coffee consumption in more prevalent in the workplace. With students it tends to be energy drinks and caffeine tablets. Some people go as far as using caffeine as a substitute for food simply because they do not have time for food as a result of their hectic lifestyle.

Discuss your tea/coffee/energy drink/other caffefine consumptions.
