    And I’m arguing you’re wrong. I have evidence to support it. You don’t. End of discussion.

    edit:

    Numerous articles define caffeine as addictive as well

    Cite one.

      Come on, now you’re just being rude and dismissive. I’m trying to come together here and come to an understanding.

      I have evidence to support it

      What, where? You’ve sited the DSM-V and anecdotes, the former disagrees with you and the latter is opinion

      Cite one.

      Here’s two:

      News article using the term “addiction”:

      Inside Caffeine Addicts Anonymous: ‘It Controlled Me Enough’ which also mentions a support group, like the ones you reference: Caffeine Addicts Anonymous

      Scientific article using the term “addiction”:

      Caffeine Intoxication and Addiction

      Whether or not you agree with them, the point is that it is commonly used.

        It took how many comments for you to finally say something of substance? That is why this discussion is dead.

        FTR lol at citing a news article about recovery programs you dismissed ages ago, and an article dated back to the DSM-IV supposedly in the era of invalid language.

        Bye

          So I give you articles that are not only referencing the exact version of addiction you want and mention a support group that you keep referencing and you dismiss them because it’s inconvenient. I fit the references to something you might find convincing. I didn’t find sources that convinced me I found sources that might convince you.

          But please, provide your own evidence, as you referenced earlier. I have provided mine, and I await yours.

          You have literally said nothing at this point beyond referencing outdated version of the manual and anecdotal evidence.
