Study: Sugar may be as addictive as cocaine

[John99]

As far as the OP, it is kind of a moot point. sugar is essential and cocaine is not. a few grams of sugar will not kill a person but very likely that a few grams of cocaine will. and it is a rough death because the process takes more than a few minute.

 

[phlogistician]

I drink coffee every day but if i miss a day or two due to circumstances where i cant have coffee then i hardly think about it.

What phlog is describing may be psychological due to the fact that he is accepting this as permanent.

How much coffee do you drink each day? I was drinking about eight cups.

Caffeine addiction is physical, not psychological;

"What Is Caffeine?
Caffeine is a highly addictive substance found naturally in many products, or added by manufacturers to many household consumables. It is found naturally in the coffee bean, leaves of the coffee plant, certain leaves and berries and in tea" (http://www.beatingaddictions.co.uk/BeatinganAddictiontoCaffeine.html)
