I understand, but coffee is amongst the most consumed things in the world, yet headaches from it is something I don't really hear around, so it's not completely wild or out of the blue to suggest a check-up. Something similar was happening to me with energy drinks 10+ years ago, which was related to my blood pressure.

Medical/clinical addiction normally revolves around hard-to-control cravings (can't stop thinking about it, might get aggressive if prevented from getting it), loss of control, etc. Dependence is essentially making your body used to something, and then having to consume it to feel normal, or feel like shit when you stop consuming it. While addiction and dependence are similar, addiction is far more brutal and hard to quit. By no means coffee is as hard to skip as cigarette, to anyone. If your reaction is "wow, coffee makes my head hurt, I don't want it", that's pretty opposite of addictive substance.

Coffee literally hydrates you. The fact that you believe a popular myth makes me assume you don't really understand coffee.

The worse sleep is a fair argument, but coffee drinkers generally live by a golden rule - no coffee 6 hours before bed.

EDIT: Ffs Lemmy, it really isn't that hard to search and learn something new instead of just downvotting.

Moderate coffee consumption hydrates you similarly to water, debunking the myth that its diuretic effect causes dehydration. While caffeine is a mild diuretic, the high water content in coffee outweighs this effect. Daily coffee drinkers develop a tolerance, allowing coffee to contribute effectively to daily fluid needs.

At that point I might do a full medical checkup. If it's so easy to get headaches and become "useless" for the day just because of coffee, that sounds like something else is going on in your body that makes you extra suspecible to these things, but I'm no medical professional, it just sounds extreme/rare to me, something worth checking out

Since when are coffee withdrawals so powerful? They've never even been noticeable to me. Since when do you develop coffee dependence (there is no such thing as addiction from coffee afaik) so quickly? I think OP is severly overestimating the dangers of coffee, and meanwhile I'm here drinking it purely for health (especially heart) and cognitive function, not energy.

And now we're back to my point about most people only reading the title.

Do you need me to hold your hand?

At this point it's just interesting to me how defensive you're getting about your own mistake

No, you did not correct the title. This is still misinformation for most people.
