Coffee addiction and why it could be worth shrinking your caffeine habitEmma Wynne1 Mar 2018, 8:37amCoffee — it's an essential part of daily life for many of us. A ritual. Something we seek soonafter getting out of bed. But it also contains caffeine, a drug more powerful than we realise.A woman named Heidi recently contacted the ABC Radio Perth Afternoons program and saidthat if she did not have a coffee for 10 hours, she suffered from nausea, headaches andshaking.She said she tried to not let too much time pass between brews.While her symptoms might sound extreme, they are not uncommon or surprising, according toLaura Bajurny from the Alcohol and Drug Foundation.\"Coffee can be quite addictive and it is a drug, which is something that is easy for us to forgetconsidering how important it is to many people's lives.\"Your body becomes physically addicted, which means that if you have coffee regularly overtime your body gets used to having caffeine in the system.\"Then when you take it away your body misses it, and that's when you go through a period ofwithdrawal.\"And then there is also the habit element; coffee can be very social. There can be a real ritualelement to it and the habitual part can be really difficult for people trying to cut back to let goof.\"Blocking sleepiness in the brainCaffeine is a stimulant, Ms Bajurny explained, and a powerful means to avoid feeling sleepy.\"It actually works by binding to some of the receptors in your brain that normally pick up achemical that we produce naturally that makes us tired over time,\" she said.\"It sits in that chemical's slot so that the chemical can't get in there and it prevents thosefeelings of tiredness for a prolonged period of time.\"The good news is that it's extremely difficult to overdose or die from drinking too much coffee.\"You would have to consume about 80 cups of strong coffee, one after the other, in order tooverdose,\" Ms Bajurny said.Children and teenagers, however, are more susceptible to caffeine poisoning, which they mightconsume in high doses through cola and energy drinks.

For most people, the caffeine withdrawal hangover is the most likely consequence of their dailycoffee habit.\"A lot of people get headaches, you might have tremors; it's almost the opposite feeling of thecoffee,\" Ms Bajurny said.\"People can feel very sluggish, sleepy, very irritable, even a bit nauseous.\"The possible health effectsOf course, there's a lot of research into coffee and some of it suggests there can also bebeneficial effects for some conditions from moderate consumption.But the long-term effects of heavy daily coffee drinking were not well understood by most ofthe public, Ms Bajurny said. \"The regular heavy use of caffeine may increase your risk of thingslike osteoporosis, high blood pressure and heart disease, infertility,\" she said.\"It is also linked to heartburn, ulcers, anxiety and depression and difficulty sleeping.http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-02-28/coffee-caffeine-withdrawal-jitters-daily-drug-for-many/9486776
