I haven't had a drop of any kind of caffeinated drink for the last few years, it really isn't that hard to avoid. All those people who talk about how they can't function without their coffee sound like creepy junkies to be honest.

Oh. Even if coffee is drug but I'm willing to drink it everyday. Special love with Vietnamese coffee. Why it could be so sexy like that?.

[DredgenSun]

Considering how much I quaff a day, it's very much a drug

[Khoromnikov]

I drink coffe 1-2 times a day, started when i was 13 or so idk lol. is it a drug? maybe.

I don't think coffee should be considered a drug. It's a natural plant product that people have consumed for centuries.

By definition it is. A drug doesn't means it is an illicit thing or bad by itself, it just means it alters the organism.
Medicine is a drug too.

It's uninteresting people who make small talk about things like wanting coffee.
Since caffeine is essentially found in nature and not subjected to refining, it's benign for a drug.

Like stimulants

[abd0804]

I don't think it has reached the level of drugs, but it does make people dependent

[halburt]

Ask yourself:

1.) Do people grow dependent on coffee as result of frequent use?
2.) Does coffee noticably affect your attitude after consuming it?
3.) Do you suffer withdrawal side effects when you don't have enough of it?

Well it is a good question.

You could definitely grow dependent on coffee and become addicted to the effects of caffeine. Just like you can get addicted to the endorphins generated by sports, etc.

Should it be considered a drug though?

I dont think that addiction is the only criteria to define drugsm there is a health issue. Being addicted to drugs threatens your life, being relatively addicted to coffee or sports wont threaten your life, not as much
