Featured Is there such a thing as moderate drug addiction?

One, I didn't say a caffeine addiction is impossible. I said that a caffeine addiction is not as harmful as addiction to other drugs.

Two, I reject any link to Wikipedia. Information on that site has been proven to be at least 60% inaccurate, so even though the information on that link appears to be more or less accurate, I don't accept anything they claim.

With that, I agree with you. Makes me cringe when I hear someone say "I've got a Pringle's addiction," for example, not because I don't find it humorous but because, as I deal with real people with real addictions, I know the joke isn't really all that funny.

 

No. I don't agree that a dependency on caffeine develops until you simply can't go for more than a little while -- perhaps and hour -- without a "coffee fix." I know people who drink coffee all day, but they don't have to do so to get through a day, and often don't.

The last part of your comment here is good analysis. However, as to the 60% claim I made, I would direct your attention here.

And like I said, you can sin/have an addiction with anything. And Johns Hopkins is more than acceptable. :thumbsup: :smilewinkgrin:

 

Lots of local churches have addicts. The first type is the gossip. It is impossible for them to keep their mouth shut and stay out of other people's business. The second type is the 300 pound pigs that slither out each pot luck Sunday and go back for a plate full of three helpings.
