    Yeah, it’s bad. I was at a wedding once, and feeling under the weather. Headache and flu symptoms. My friend brought me a hot tea to help my throat, and as I drank it, I started to immediately feel better. Then I realized I hadn’t had my morning tea, or my lunch iced tea, or my dinner iced tea… that’s how I found out I was chemically addicted to caffeine, lol.

        I think it was the regularity of me drinking it. 1 large, hot lipton black tea in the morning, maybe an iced black tea before lunch, one at lunch, maybe 1 after, 1 at dinner, and maybe 1 more after. I was using unsweetened tea to ween off Gatorade which helped me ween off soda at the time.
