Question

How old should you be to start drinking coffee???

Answer 1

Im a nurse and I know this one family who has three children with ADD or ADHD and instead of giving them medications like most, the mom starts there day with a big cup of Coffee. I know, you would think it would make it worse but its the opposite they are already over active so the coffee kind of equals them out like the medications. As for how old I mean its a personal choice I mean I definately wouldnt allow my child under the age of 10 drink caffienated coffee. I have a three year old and she loves Starbucks I have opted to get her the decaffinated iced coffees sweetened with artificial sweetners. Its really up to what you believe. It can be a diuretic and a laxative so that is also something to consider when giving it to a yound one !!! Hope my input helps.  

Answer 2

16 one day.

Answer 3

Maybe around 10, I don't really know but I don't think you should have it too much if you're younger than that. =)

Answer 4

21 , caffeine stains teeth.

And young kids might get too hyperactive like sugar.

Answer 5

I would say not before 14 or 15.  The main reason would be because of the caffeine coffee contains but there is also decaffeinated coffee.  Then again most young people are consuming what is probably considered too much soda and the new energy drinks on the market these day.  Coffee is an acquired taste....if you find you need to put alot of creamer and sugar in coffee you're probably not ready for it yet.  You may also want to considered flavored coffees...you almost don't realized that you drinking coffee.
