Eventually, coffee moves from a drink that gets you going to an emotional support drink.

I had a similar thought to this the other day. For nearly my entire adulthood working, something around 15 years, not a single day has passed where I have explicitly recall NOT having coffee.
Addiction is real. š¬
Why not both?
drink coffee āfeel goodā
Narcotics are opioids or other downers.
Caffeine is obviously psychoactive but is not a narcotic.
Were I was raised there wasnāt a taboo over coffee as a ādrink for adultsā (something that I learned from American movies and found quite funny), when I was a kid Iād drink coffee with milk because I didnāt care much about coffee, but nobody would bat an eye I did⦠I also never understood that thing about people drinking coffee and getting energized, from what I learned the American-style coffee has about half the caffeine of the regular coffees we have here (Brazil), and not rarely I have coffee with bread or cookies before bed (if I didnāt have dinner and Iām feeling too lazy to make something), it doesnāt affect my sleep the least and I never felt the least energized with coffee. I always thought this thing about caffeine getting you high was a joke from movies, but people in real life do seem to claim it :S
(well, I do remember teens smoking oregano thinking it was pot and claiming to be high as wellā¦)
ps: Nope, Iām not addicted to coffee. The regular breakfast here is coffee with bread and butter, but most of times I donāt have breakfast before leaving so I donāt drink any coffee the whole day, and I go weeks without drinking it. If it isnāt to have a coffee with bread, cookies or biscuits, I donāt have coffee at all.
I think thatās just movies - kids just wouldnāt like coffee because itās bitter. No one Iāve known has said kids canāt have coffee, just recognize they wonāt like it.
Hell, my father let me tast his coffee and beer when I was 5-ish because I was curious. I disliked the coffee completely, but the beer had somethingā¦
I stumbled on liking it in my 20ās.
Hmm. Im gotta go choose wisely thenā¦
I LOVE DRUGS
(I JUST HAD COFFEE IM SO HYPED HOMIE)
I very rarely drink coffee. I figure if itās just going to get to the point I need it just to function normally then I might as well not start. Iām already a morning person anyway.
The exception is when I take exams. Coffee helps with the ADHD. Iāll usually drink it black since itās not the drink Iām after itās the caffeine.
