Why do people get so angry when you call coffee/caffeine a drug? I'm not saying it's really that bad overall, but it's ignorant to say that it isnt a drug and isn't addictive (even if withdrawal symptoms are light compared to others)

one could actually say that coffee is as potent as many of the variations of amphetamine.
and yes. coffee is a drug.

When people hear drugs, there is a heavy negative connotation. When you refer to something they partake in regularly, they probably feel like you're calling them an addict. If you can't figure this out, you're an idiot.

It is pretty strange that some people don't consider things like caffeine, alcohol, and even OTC medications drugs just because they can be purchased legally without a prescription.
Hudson Baker
Caffeine consumption is pretty normalized so people don't like suddenly realizing that what they're taking is, in fact, a drug. Because let's be honest: caffeine is a highly addictive substance and there's no rational way to deny that fact, so in an attempt to maintain blissful ignorance they just become arrogant.

Probably because they're on drugs bro.
Jose Wilson
Agreed, makes me want a glass
Jordan Gonzalez
I consider it medicine. coffee saved my life.

Because even though you're right, you're still a prick.

Who gets angry?
Sounds to me like you need to stop hanging around with cunts, OP.
Aaron Robinson
but people take drugs all the time. it's ridiculously defensive to get angry at the use of the word. you can drink coffee without being an addict, and even then, addiction to it isn't horrible
Colton Foster
there's a lot of overlap between drugs and medicine
Colton White
depends on context. it's not like when i see someone drinking coffee i'm like "hey enjoying your DRUGS"
Juan Ross
who get's angry? anybody who's addicted knows its a drug
Henry Ross
a few people, an example is my brother who doesn't even really drink coffee. which is even more confusing to me, because it's probably not out of defensiveness
Tyler Gomez
You can be addicted to anything if you try hard enough.
Wyatt Rodriguez
more mentally than physically though
Henry Reyes
Because everyone who isn't retarded already knows it is a drug by definition and is just sick of your predictable stoner ass ranting and raving about weed and why all 9 yr old children should be required to smoke it by law
Carson Wood
It is a drug, just like dopamine's a drug. The problem with many words is that we've unconsciously given them extended meanings and like one user said, connotations that don't apply to the actual word, so when you use 'drug' in the intended context people see it the wrong way, as they should because we're that retarded to use words in ways they were not meant to be used.
Isaac Sullivan
i don't like weed

Whatever you want baby.
Gavin Edwards
mentally is physically
