How can i drink caffeinated coffee regularly without getting a caffeine addiction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't drink a lot: Caffeine dependency is rare in people who restrict themselves to 1-2 cups of coffee per day. If you drink much more than that, there is a dependency, which is mostly marked by significant headaches and irritability. If you drink that amount, there is no way to avoid getting a dependency, although people vary in their predisposition to this. I have had patients who drank a lot more, and could quit
