Drunk again? The intoxicating effects of coffee...


Most of us wouldn't consider getting drunk in the morning, however, new research suggests that our coffee is downright intoxifying...

Caffeine addiction is real - and any coffee addict knows withdraw can be brutal. Skipping that morning shot can result in headaches, irritability, trouble focusing and even nausea or muscle pain.

The American Psychiatric Association’s Manual of Mental Disorders has now added caffeine intoxication and withdrawal as a mental health disorder. It’s easy to overdo it on caffeine, especially if you compound the problem with caffeinated sodas or drinks throughout the day. Symptoms of caffeine intoxication include restlessness, twitching, arrhythmia, flushed face and racing thoughts and speech.
