buddysmom I totally agree with everything you just mentioned. It's definitely addictive. However almost anything and everything I can think of can become addictive. Most of the people I know can't function unless they get their morning coffee. Society generally doesn't look down on the people that go to Starbucks everyday and spend $ 10 on mocha latte crappuccino; somehow they are role model citizens living the good life. Why aren't they considered coffee addicts?
