Does drinking coffee replace or lessen the addiction of drinking alcohol in alcoholics?
Does drinking coffee help reduce the addiction or daily cravings of alcohol. Can one develops an addiction to coffee? from the caffeine Will the coffee addiction ever have a chance of switching over from alcohol to coffee? This is for a research paper on an experimental ysis of behavior treatment- My dad and sister both drink coffee in the morning and beer at night. I do not drink coffee, but I drink beer. I do not think coffee and alcohol have any connection. Alcohol works differently than coffee. Alcohol is drank mostly at night or afternoon. but not morning usually ha and it's a depressant, which makes me more calm usually. Coffee is mostly in the morning, to wake up or for some people to take their morning poop. I will choose alcohol over coffee any day
- no coffee dosent help with alcohol addiction from my own experience i can drink coffee heavy for a while and theni can leave it alone. i just like the taste of coffee. be it regular or decaff as for switching frome one addiction to another no way
- The act of drinking coffee will not replace the craving for alcohol and it will not lessen it. Addiction is the unrelenting physical and mental need for a mind altering substance or high. An alcoholic in recovery has to be vigilant about not cross addicting, which is what you are touching on. And coffee, in large amounts, is a stimulant. So is tobacco, which is why so many addicts smoke. Addicts that gravitate toward 'stimulants', like coke or meth, diet s, etc can take off with coffee or energy drinks. Also, any addict can cross addict to a whole different area, like, sex, video games. It's the mind going to unhealthy amounts of something to escape. Bottom line. If someone is 'addicted' to caffeine and I wonder how you are using the word; clinically or casually? they could move to alcohol, I guess, to change to a mind altering substance but I do not see that as a big danger. I see the other way around as a danger because caffeine is seen an 'safe' and larger amounts can creep up and create a need. I have seen former meth addicts relapse starting with energy drinks. Hope this helps
- You can get addicted to coffee, at least to where you get caffeine headaches from withdrawal, and feel sluggish without your fix. To lessen alcohol dependence, you may wish to investigate kudzu. brighteyecounselling.co.uk / alcohol - drugs / kudzu - treatment - alcoholism /
- Addiction works differently for different people. Some can smoke a cig a few times and never do it again. Some can smoke and never do it again though more unlikely. I do not believe coffee can increase or decrease someone's addiction to alcohol. The addiction lies within the individual. They control the ability to cease an addiction to alcohol coffee is not going to magically stop them. It's all about that person's mindset, will power, and ability to control cravings / urges. I also do not believe people are addicted to coffee. Evident by the fact that you do not see people pawning their TVs for another hit of java unless of course it's for Starbucks. :
- Yes a person can become addicted to coffee. And yes coffee as well as nicotine help with the cravings that alcoholics have No it will never take the place of alcohol for an alcoholic. If you need more information I suggest that you contact you local AA and see if the will help you with your research paper
- They say the number of vices is constant - you kick one habit or addiction, and aquire another. The coffee - addiction is not as strong as alcohol - addiction - however, coffee is not just coffe - the type and roast may vary, some would say it's a science. So if you get the alcoholic interested in coffee on a more advanced level, you may have a chance. :
