[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I have long thought that there is a link between the increase in teens drinking coffee/caffeinated drinks with the rise in anxiety levels among teens. I started reading about it and it’s only been studied a tiny bit. I wrote a survey that I wanted to send to higher schoolers to fill out. I just think everyone’s attention is on social media but that this is a social/cultural shift that no one is thinking about. [b]Coffee was a grown up drink that has trickled down to high schoolers[/b]. What do you think?[/quote]

Perhaps it was a 'grown up' drink where you grew up but not where I grew up in rural Indiana.  Alcoholic beverages were the only 'grown up drinks'.  Coffee and tea were always available.  BTW - black tea has more caffeine than what you probably think.

This is true of my family in Spain as well. Coffee is a much earlier introduction[/quote]
