I have done it a couple of times over the years, and gone back after half a year or so. There is considerable research that finds little negative consequence from reasonable use. An informative and amusing personal account is found in this interesting book :

Caffeine has significant impact on sleep quality. it reduces critical cycles of various sleep stages.
essentially, a long term coffee drinker is aging their brains approximately 10-15 years.
Matt Walker, a sleep scientist who researches this has a great book on sleep, "Why we sleep"

--- Quote from: 9999hp on Thu, 02 August 2018, 12:20:37 ---Finally went through with the caffiene detox, I'm on week 3 of non-dependence. First week was no caffeine input at all, second I introduced kombucha/tea, and this week I've reversed the habit in that I drink caffeine on weekends for fun.
First couple days were hell, but after that it was just willpower to overcome the physical habit. Really enjoying it so far and how I feel. Although I miss how good coffee tastes. I think the exercise in willpower made it easier to fast for me as well.

I had a caffeine addiction. It most certainly is just like any other drug. You build a dependency on it, build tolerance and need more and more of it. I've drank at least 1 can of Dr Pepper a day every single day of my life since I started highschool, and it's only now in my sophomore year of college that I'm kicking the habit. I was going through a 12 pack of Dr Pepper in half a week, which used to be just a 12 pack in a week, which used to be a can or two per day.
When I quit I got legitimate cravings to the point where if it wasn't for the fact I didn't have my car I probably would've hauled my ass to the store just to sate it.
It may seem like a stupid thing to be addicted to, but caffeine, like TP said, is a drug like anything else. Just because the government allows it in products doesn't make it any less dangerous.

Hitting Panera for breakfast in the morning on my way into work I've managed switch from coffee to lemonade, surprisingly no caffeine headaches at all.
