    I live on caffeine. I drink around 10 cups of black tea a day and then drink around 2 sugar free energy drinks a day and take caffeine pills before long runs.

    I've never had any negative side effects of this. I love my caffeine. I don't feel it is a weakness.

    This is me....with iced tea.

    I love unsweetened iced tea, and drink it all day long. I don't see an issue.

    I now drink half caff, and no more than one at the very most and not often 2 cups a day. Too much coffee (I drank 3-6 a day) coupled with regular (not overly excessive but more than I should) alcohol use threw my hormones out of whack and raised my estrogen levels causing jawline hormonal acne and hair loss, as soon as I controlled those two things, my acne went away and my hair is now growing thicker again. I don't know if my genetics is just sensitive to it, I am not on BC so I had nothing to artificially control my hormones, I never had those issues when I was on BC and I drank the same way then. So maybe doesn't affect everyone this way, but it definitely did for me.

    The social side of drinking coffee can become addicting like. To me coffee isn't more addicting than sugar.
