Addicted to caffene?

Question

can you get addicted to energy drinks such as "boost" and "red bull" because they contain caffene?

and if so, is it realy bad for you?

Answer 1

Yes, caffeine is addictive. It sounds absurd until you actually are.

It's not a major addiction like having to drink a cup every 5 hours or something, but when I was addicted, if I didn't get a cup at least every morning (or maybe two) then I'd get REALLY bad headaches and feel nauchious all day.

I quit cold turkey and it was very hard, because of the withdrawal symptoms... Try not to get addicted.  

Answer 2

Anyone that says that they are addicted to energy drinks, coffee, cola tea, or any form of caffeine is actually only a weak minded fool.

Caffeine is spelled c a f f e i n e

Spell check would have told you that.

Answer 3

Caffene is not an addictive drug like cigarettes or alcohol but if you drink a lot of it on a regular basis, your body can become dependent on it. For example, if you stop drinking it for a day or two, you will probably get sick. For example, migraine, weakness, etc. Depending on how your system reacts.

Answer 4

No caffeine isn't addictive.

Answer 5

Yes, it is addictive. I used to be addicted to it and when I stopped drinking it I felt really bad for about 3 weeks afterwards. Now I try to avoid it because I dont want to become addicted again.  

Answer 6

Answer 7

These drinks are even worse than coffee etc. They will give you headaches and make you feel sluggish when you stop taking them

Answer 8

Answer 9

yes caffeine is addictive!

a girl at my work drinks 7-10 cans of red bull a day and a doctor has told her she has to quite but shes findin it very hard

caffeine is addicted because your body becomes acustomed to the boost you get from it

drinkin too much over a long period of time ages your skin

it can also cause heart attacks and strokes / brain heamorrages

recently a lot of young people have died of strokes caused by drinking lots of red bull regularly

but to get a lethal dose of caffeine from red bull youd have to drink 30+ cans depending how big you are

no it's not addictive but bad for your health if you drink it too much e.g my dad drank coffe every morning and eventually had something wrong with is heart or whatever but he's fine.
