Don't Bring Me Down

This is a real bummer. Studies in England, according to Yahoo! News Wednesday have indicated that caffeine addicts do not get a boost from their morning cup o' Joe. The "perceived" boost is actually the medicating of the downer that is caffeine withdrawal. In essence it is only bringing them back to a normal level of alertness and not a higher level. All they are doing is overcoming the fatigue of acute withdrawal.

Now it would be natural to think, then, that if one would just stop caffeine, one wouldn't be as tired in the morning and then one wouldn't need the caffeine boost.

What a horrible thought.

But spoken like a true addict.
