[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just one drink a day is bad for your health.  A lot of research out there on this.  Google it.

I don’t think it makes a person an alcoholic.  And I’m not offended or judgmental about it like OP.  But do it knowing what you’re doing and comparing it to a daily coffee habit is silly.[/quote]

Why is it silly? Addiction is a dependency on something. I hear a lot more people saying they can’t function without coffee than without booze.[/quote]

I am definitely ok with being addicted to coffee.  Who cares?  Yes I need it to wake up, no I have no intentions of changing this.[/quote]

At someone with addicts in my family tree I am not okay being addicted to anything, including coffee. But I understand that that doesn't apply to everyone. Personally, I don't like the idea of "needing" anything to function, whether an upper or a downer or anything in between. But that's also why I've never smoked a cigarette because I'm afraid I could become addicted to it even though it disgusts me. I do drink, probably a dozen times a year, and I'd probably miss the freedom of being able to do it if I couldn't anymore but I would be fine. I got morphine when I was in the hospital for appendicitis as an adult and it was the absolute most amazing thing I had ever experienced and it terrified me. Again, that doesn't happen for everyone, so if you're ok with your coffee addiction then that's fine. I'm just answering your question of who cares.[/quote]
