Who said drinking too much coffee is bad? No one ever because coffee is life! Here's how you know if you are a coffee addict.
1. You know you are addicted to coffee when you crave coffee at any time of the day. Currently it is 12:09 in the morning on a Thursday and I’m craving coffee. My friend and I are already discussing getting coffee when we wake up.
2. You know you are addicted to coffee when you are running late for class, work, or a meeting but you still stop for some coffee. Who cares if the drive through line is long because it is so worth it.
3. You know you are addicted to coffee when you have a favorite coffee place and when you go somewhere else you feel as if you are cheating on the other. I’m a loyal Starbucks girl and will occasionally go to Dunkin' Donuts, however, I still feel the guilt set in if I don’t go to only Starbucks for coffee.
4.You know you are addicted to coffee when you already know what you are going to order even before you walk into the coffee shop. Maybe you are debating between two different drinks but it is pretty much decided on before stepping foot through the door.
5. You know you are addicted to coffee when you notice that one small cup of coffee does not wake you up because you have become immune to it. You have to now get a larger cup for more coffee or a shot of espresso. It is almost as if it would be best having your coffee in an IV.
6. You know you are addicted to coffee when you know the whole menu. As a loyal Starbucks customer, I have tried most drinks and know there are frappuccino’s, refreshers, regular and iced coffees, lattes, and a few other different types of drinks as well as a plethora of food items, such as breakfast sandwiches or pink birthday cake-cake pops.
7. You know you are addicted to coffee when the cashier knows your name and order as soon as you walk in. Recently a friend and I went to Starbucks and Donald (the friendly cashier working at the time) already knew exactly what we wanted. Plus, a bonus is when they spell your name right on the cup.
8. You know you are addicted to coffee when you start to not only order a drink, but you alter it to order it to your exact specifications to your likings. Lately I have been addicted to ordering a grande caramel iced coffee with cream and sugar and light ice. Another drink I recommend (although not coffee) is a passion fruit tango tea half lemonade with raspberry syrup instead of the classic.
9. You know you are addicted to coffee when you can tell the slightest difference in your coffee between visits. Maybe one time you can tell there is more ice so it is more watered down or there is definitely a different portion between the cream and sugar.
10. You know you are addicted to coffee when you have no problem dropping around $3 on each drink, which gets pretty pricey by the end of the month maybe even the week. But you do what you can in order to receive that pure energy boost and have that delicious taste.
