[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People drink coffee everyday and no one is labeling them addicts. What's the difference?[/quote]

intoxication is the difference[/quote]

Kind of, and social consequences are a large part of it, but the real reason is that we accept and even encourage caffeine addiction because it's [b]believed to increase productivity. Capitalism is fine with that.[/b]

"If you want to understand a society, take a good look at the drugs it uses. And what can this tell you about American culture? Well, look at the drugs we use. Except for pharmaceutical poison, there are essentially only two drugs that Western civilization tolerates: Caffeine from Monday to Friday to energize you enough to make you a productive member of society, and alcohol from Friday to Monday to keep you too stupid to figure out the prison that you are living in." -Bill Hicks [/quote]

Truth to this. Would be a little unusual to smoke a joint in the morning in my  field but a big cup of coffee coupled with some coke or Adderall is par for the course as totally acceptable.[/quote]
