I think I'm addicted to Coke...?

Question

Well I always have a bottle of coke in my house, but this one night I didn't. It was about 10:00pm and I REALLY wanted a coke... So I hopped on my bike and went to the closest gas station. Yeah I know: lol. But I really wanted it. I drank coke my whole life pretty much, and I am a healthy weight.

I heard people get addicted to it, but is it true?

Answer 1

you're probably addicted to the caffeine, not the coke.

Answer 2

I feel your pain.  :)  I believe people have a potential to become addicted to almost anything.  Mine is diet cherry coke zero and poptarts!  And I know on down the road I will regret what it probably will do to my body...

Answer 3

No dont drink so much....it is doing slow harm and result will be there in few years.

Change your habit

Answer 4

I know what you mean...I'm addicted to Dr. Pepper lol :D

Answer 5

I have not evidence to proof it is true except from personal experience...I am addicted to diet coke.  I can't live without them.

Answer 6

yea, it's definitely the caffiene you are addicted to.. most people don't realize that caffiene is in fact a drug!

Answer 7

me too.

Answer 8

Your liver and kidneys will thank you in the years to come. Your stomach lining is being eaten up. Soda contains chemical properties capable of altering your DNA. There are a number of reasons to boycott this product.

Answer 9

That's disgusting. Coke eats away at your stomach lining, and for every glass of coke you drink, it takes 6 glasses or water to flush it out.

Not to mention it's mostly chemicals and sugar.

I don't think you can get addicted to coke, since there's not addictive ingredients in it. ...I hope not.

But um, since you've been drinking it for years regularly, your body thinks it's something it needs; it's not.

Answer 10

Don't stress You may be mentally addicted, meaning you just really want it, but if you were physically addicted then you would go through withdraw, like getting headaches and shaking if you didnt have it. Im that way w/ starbucks, I dont HAVE to have it but I want it all the time, real bad. But really who cares. Enjoy =0)

Answer 11

Yes, it's true.  I thnk that everyone has an addiction to some sort of soda.  It seems like you are drinking too much, though.  Buy your soda in cans, not bottles, so you will get a predetermined amount and you wont have to rely on your willpower so much.  Buy bottled water and fruit juices.  It's best not to drink soda just before you go to bed.  You don't have to give up soda, just everything in moderation.

Answer 12

yes coke was an ingredient in coke cola
