caffeine addiction.

I'm hooked. Drink coffee usually 1-2 times a day. I need to slow down, and want to stop drinking coffee on a regular basis... dammit! Here's some info I found on caffeine:

Overuse

In large amounts, and especially over extended periods of time, caffeine can lead to a condition known as caffeinism.^[73][74] Caffeinism usually combines caffeine dependency with a wide range of unpleasant physical and mental conditions

"Caffeine is a drug that can affect our central nervous system and affect some pretty important areas of our lives," says American University caffeine researcher Laura Juliano.

I think I should switch to tea for a while...

Tea offers a much gentler lift. A cup generally contains from 30 to 90 milligrams of caffeine, depending on the variety and how long the bag is steeped. Sodas typically have the least caffeine. A 12-ounce Diet Pepsi, for example, has 36 milligrams.

The general consensus is that you should have less than 100 milligrams of caffeine a day. If it's over that amount, things can get shitty. Also, espresso usually has less milligrams of caffeine than drip coffee.

Time to finish my venti iced coffee! damn.
