Caffeine

Caffeine is a bitter, white crystalline xanthine alkaloid that is a psychoactive stimulant drug.
So is caffeine addictive??
From personal experience I believe that it is.
I tend to have at least 2 sodas a day or more,
and some tea or coffee as well, because when I don't my body will tell me.
I get insane headaches and I feel sick.
Which is not okay.
I have tried to cut down on it, but it is so hard to do.
I have even given up drinking soda for lent and hopefully that will enable me to be able to cut down on it after lent is done.
I know way too many people that have issues with caffeine.
It is an epidemic,
According to the Starbucks website there are approximately 255 stores in Manhattan alone.
And that equals a ton of caffeine, which then equals a ton of people addicted to caffeine.
We need to stop relying on caffeine to get us through the day,
how about actually sleeping for once???
From my own experience caffeine is addictive...
What do you think???
