Caffeine/coffee: A need or want?

Question

Caffeine: A Want or Need?

I was getting ready for work this morning and told my husband that I NEEDED coffee as our lo didn't sleep through the night and I needed something to help me through my 8 hour work day. Anyway, he corrected me to say, "I WANTED coffee. Not NEED." We had a debate on whether coffee/caffeine was a need or a want. 🙄 I seriously struggle to make it through the day without it. Therefore I need it. Lol. Your thoughts ladies?

Answer

😉.

Answer

Caffeine is a drug and people get addicted to it. Therefore it can be a need. Your body can crave it and you can have caffeine withdrawals. When I got pregnant I tried to cut caffeine out completely but I would get caffeine headaches and I would have some soda and felt better.

Answer

You don't mess with someone's coffee needs

Answer

I would probably honestly die without coffee. 😂

Answer

Caffeine doesn't do anything for me.... So it's a want not a need. My husband does have effects from caffeine so it's a need for him.

Answer

Depends on the person. Yes, I definitely want my coffee, but have been without it for long periods of time before. But, both my SO and I have noticed that I just function better and am a much nicer person with it (even though he's very careful about what he says because he doesn't want his head bitten off), so we decided that in general, I need my 1 cup (lots of times it's half caf, or even full decaf will do the same thing).
