1. For me it's not the caffeine, it's the withdrawl symptoms that are hell
If I stop driking my usual chai or iced tea or dr. pepper, and try to go a day or two without it, I get a bad headache in the back of my head right above my neck. It goes away after a day or two, and then I am "free" from the caffeine addiction, but if I start drinking the tea again it will come back.

I am a slave to cafeine because of it.

7. I get over it in one day, with the help of a lot of Advil.
Then I am free and non-addicted... but the lure of Big Train Spiced Chai keeps me coming back and I am back at square one.

17. Ever since I became a father.
I need cafeine to stay awake at work in the morning. So I'm screwed.

10. Caffeine withdrawal headaches are the worst
I had to give up caffeine a few years ago and it was the worst.

16. That's why Starbucks is such a huge success despite the horrible taste of
their coffee. In reality they are drug pushers.

14. I stand by my statement that the OP kills kittens, and call upon Ohio Joe to prove otherwise
the killing of kittens must stop, and this reckless namecalling by billyskank is only confusing the issue.

27. about 61 cups would kill me
I'd say at my worst, I have done 10 cups in a day. I have reflux, and I am not supposed to drink coffee. I quit, for a few weeks, headaches set in, back to it, at about 2 cups a day.

28. HA! I have proof that that site is total bullshit...
"It would take 94.14 cups of Drip Coffee to put you down. "

What kind of candy-ass drinks less than 100 cups a day? That site is full of baloney.
