Answer 1

Buy your own.

Answer 2

She might be, or she just might have gotten into a habit.

I have a friend that is truly addicted to caffeine.

If she doesn't have a steady dose of it all through the day she

gets terrible headaches. She doesn't drink large amounts of it but the addiction is still there.

Rather than go cold turkey and suffer through that pain she actually has to keep a pot of cold coffee on hand and gets up in the middle of the night and drinks a small amount of it.

If she doesn't have that small dose of caffeine, she gets migrane type headaches and can't sleep the rest of the night.

The small amount of caffeine doesn't keep her awake, it just calms the withdrawal symptoms.

Now THAT is addicted.

Answer 3

My Grandmother drinks at least 2 a day. I think it is because she doesn't like coffee or something like that, and so I can understand that. She started drinking Diet decaffeinated awhile ago, maybe you should suggest that to your step-mom.

Answer 4

atleast it's not crack

Answer 5

Yes, she is and do not buy any more caffeine for her..

because it causes high blood pressure.

Answer 6

You could explain to her about the problems that will come up if she doesnt take better care of herself. My stepmom stopped drinking caffeine drinks when she had a kidney stone from them. She has problems with her kidneys to this day because of it. But you could research what caffeine does to her body. ANd yes she sounds addicted to them. Caffeine is highly addictive.

Answer 7

lol yes she is...

ppl do not realized anything that have you wired is an addition. Is she over weight, dark circle around her eyes, dress messy, unkept hair, smelly, upset at the drop of a pin, cannot sleep, always bossing you around, yeast infection, yellow teeth, bad breath, dark tongue, eat lots of salt or sweets...complaining of lower back pain and excess sweat glands...............get her some help but do try not to drink her colas that just asking for it.

Answer 8

She's addicted.  She needs to get a medical exam to see why she needs a physical jolt all the time.
