But I’d say (at least that’s my experience) it’s not a very addictive substance. Or it depends heavily on the person.
I drink 0-5 cups a day. I like the taste and I like drinking it in some social settings. I don’t need it in the morning to get my body awake. I can just stop drinking coffee any time for longer periods of time without any issues.
Once I was working in Bavaria for about 6 weeks. We drank around 1l of beer every dinner. Returning home I wanted to drink a beer after the first dinner. This made me stop drinking alcohol for two months and since I made this experience I regularly stop consuming substances that may be addictive. I never experienced this with caffeine.
That’s because they are. It’s just a socially acceptable drug addiction.
I currently work as a barista, but I’ve also previously been a pharmacy assistant in a methadone clinic for recovering opioid addicts.
Honestly apart from the paperwork and the stakes involved if one messes up, the jobs are pretty similar.
It boosts our economy…
