Coffee is Americas leading caffeine that people drink every day or even a couple times a day to keep them going but is this not good for our society? Drinking coffee can be very addictive and many people have to rely on it in order to function throughout the day. Coffee is like other drugs where you have to have it because you are addicted. The reason why you can get addicted is the effects of caffeine that causes a chemical addiction to the brain. Also, if you withdraw from drinking it you can result in withdraw symptoms meaning that the more a person costumes, the more the person experiences withdraws. Something that is even scarier is that coffee can have even more serous serve condition such as mental problems and depression.
Another reason is not enough sleep. People will drink it all throughout the day and will have one more cup at night and can’t go to bed because of all the caffeine that they still have. Also, coffee is stimulant and it contains chemicals that will keep you awake longer hours. Not only it will take away your hours to sleep but it can disrupt the quality of sleep. No matter what, if you drink coffee it will disturb your sleeping matter even if you think it doesn’t.
The most important one I think that is important is that it causes is anxiety and stress. I know that when I drink coffee I get butterflies in my stomach as I get this nervous feeling in my stomach. What it does is it decreases your blood flow which decreasing the amount of oxygen. It can also cause worse mental performance and poor memory. Also, high blood pressure can increase from the stress a person is dealing with. Coffee is a big product in our country and I love it and drink it at least a couple times a week but I know I have to be cautious of these disadvantages. I think if you don’t drink it every day you won’t have to deal with not getting enough sleep and being stressed. The question I have is, what is the percentage of people that drink coffee at least 3 times a week?

This is really interesting and a little scary! I often find myself choosing coffee over sleep because of late nights studying, but never knew that there could be physical problems associated with it. Personally I drink coffee about three times a week, but I hope to reduce my reliance on coffee soon.
ReplyDeleteThis is incredibly troubling! Every single one of my roommates drink coffee every day and most americans I know do! Personally, I don't like the taste of coffee so I find myself drinking tea every now and then. It is usually only once or twice a week though. Good information!
