Its like saying "imagine if someone said 'dont talk to me until ive had my heroin shot up my arm'". Not at all comparable things. You never wake up not knowing what you did or regretting the shitty thing you did because you drank too much coffee. Alcohol alters human behavior so much and has such deep repercussions in society that I don't understand how it is legal (I do, but it shouldn't be). Coffee doesn't have these dangers associated with its use.Just because people can become dependant on something, doesn't make it inherently bad. (1301)

Iโ€™m not at all saying coffee/caffeine is inherently bad or should be banned. Iโ€™m just saying that society has normalized the excessive consumption of caffeine so much that many people canโ€™t function/go about their day without it. I personally drink coffee about twice a week and enjoy the flavor, sometimes I have it for the energy boost too. But needing it consistently is the issue imo. (-94)

Why do you care what people should do or need? (65)

Because itโ€™s an addiction, and itโ€™s sad that society normalizes this bc impatiens want to sell more product. (-47)

Basedness: ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”˜๐Ÿ”˜๐Ÿ”˜

The real problem is. That way to many people care too much about what everyone else does. If you think caffeine is so bad. Don't drink it. And move on. (221)

I donโ€™t think caffeine is bad, I think normalizing excessive everyday consumption is bad. People shouldnโ€™t need 4 espresso to get out of bed in the morning lol. (-56)

I think the issue here is a lack of proportion.When you compare caffeine to alcohol, youโ€™re doing two things:1) exaggerating the way caffeine affects a person, and 2) downplaying how much of a chokehold alcohol can have on a person.Caffeine is a mildly addictive substance. Alcohol is a physically addictive substance, in that you not only become psychologically dependent on it, but physically dependent. Quit caffeine and youโ€™ll be cranky and maybe get a headache - quit alcohol without supervision, and you can get horribly ill, and in more severe cases you can literally die.Also, riddle me the last time someone lost their job, their family, or their home, to caffeine. Tell me the last time someone died of caffeine overdose, or gun violence due to a dispute over caffeine, or contracted a communicable disease from caffeine. If anyone has any recovery shuffle experiences from coffee and earl grey tea, I am allll ears. I will wait So while Iโ€™m not saying caffeine is this perfect thi... (3)

Except that the hard drugs and alcohol can cause harm to both society and the people around the addicts. It's not about their wellbeing, it's about the wellbeing of the people around them (64)

I like how so many people feel like drugs are essential to life as we know it. Marijuana is safe and beneficial, so is Mushrooms and Acid and most other psychedelics. But, any hard drug, it's horrible to watch, crack, meth, heroin, frick even people who are addicted to pain pills. It's sad because I've seen that shit tear apart families and ruin lives, and it's not needed, neither is alcohol really needed, but i doubt that's going anywhere. (2)

imagine comparing caffeine to alcohol. the latter can be genuinely dangerous, not only because it inhibits people's functions and the fact that you can drink so much of it you literally forget what happened while you were drunk, but it also wreaks havoc on your liver if you drink it too much. caffeine is nothing like alcohol, so stop pretending it is.we live in such a crappy society which promotes working all day every day for the entirety of our lives and many people lack the motivation to even get up in the morning. not to mention many people also suffer sleeping problems, and mental illness is also a giant issue in millions of people's lives. all these things can make such simple tasks such as getting to sleep at a decent time and getting up early incredibly hard. caffeine offers that boost that many people need.maybe in a perfect world your opinion would hold more weight, but compared to so many other things people take to cope with life such as hard drugs, cigarettes and alcoho...

Caffeine is unironically good for you in a lot of ways. Caffeine maxing should be celebrated

Nope. It suppresses adenosine so you get worse quality sleep, which is turn worsens obesity and increases appetite. Further too much caffeine causes anxiety disorders, also it worsens heart burn which can cause throat cancer

The whiplash of pop science articles alternating between "CAFFEINE IS GREAT DRINK MORE COFFEE" and "CAFFEINE WILL GIVE YOU ALZHEIMER'S AND AN ANEURYSM" is fascinating

I mean it's like anything, there are some benefits to consuming straight nicotine through gum and stuff but if you're chugging 4 cups of joe and smoking a pack a day, even ignoring the shit that's in ciggies it's gonna be terrible for you

Akshually :marseyakshually: caffeine is generally considered to lower the risk of dementia.

However there other chemicals in coffee might not be good for you.

I guess If you were truly concerned about it, you could caffeine pill max like me

I've got some genetic caffeine intolerance. Drinking any substantial amount (for me) like a cup of coffee completely fricks me up.
