Caffeine withdrawal is now a mental health disorder

[M. Sage]

Every place I've ever worked we had a coffee pot handy....including while I was in the Army. Hell, at my last job, the company supplied coffee makers (and coffee) but a coworker and I bought our own, with a timer, because the company supplied one didn't have that option. That way, when we arrived at our system in the morning, we had a fresh pot of coffee already brewed.

I've been drinking coffee most of my life and I don't plan on stopping now.....so no withdrawals for me.

Most addicts, just being late with the morning caffeine can cause withdrawl symptoms to start. That's that low-level dull headache you get if you don't get around to your first cup until sometime in the afternoon.

Tin foil time.



Wonder how long it will be before they start fining people for smoking I see Obama care? Then when they quite smoking they are told the withdrawal symptoms are a mental disorder so they can no longer own firearms.


Just thinking this through to the worst possible outcome.

Dont worry, I've already reported you for numerous issues. The world is safer.

Interesting thoughts. While in the hospital after the surgery on my arm, for the first 4 days I had no caffeine at any of my meals. I didn't get "anxious" or "headaches" or any other symptoms. I still wonder about that because I've always had coffee for at least breakfast, if not for most of the morning. On the 5th day, I was given the option of having tea instead of milk, which I jumped at because that 2% shit they were giving me wasn't milk.....it was milk-flavored water.

The fining part is already here. Our work pumps up your health insurance costs ~15% unless you sign an affidavit that you haven't used any tobacco product for the past year.
