Can you be addicted to coffee?

Caffeine addiction: Yes, you can become addicted to the caffeine in coffee. One of the hallmark symptoms of caffeine withdrawal is a migraine-like headache that responds well to nsaids and/or caffeine. However a modest amount of coffee is considered safe for most people and is a part of culture in the usa.
