It's strange that a drug which has quite strong mood altering properties is so socially acceptable, to the point of "You're being a penis, have a coffee".

Yea it is a thing; I used to work with a lady who used to drink a minimum of 2litres of coke per day along with about 5 coffees. She decided to cut out the coke completely and reduce the coffee and went through pretty major withdrawals.

Sugar has similar effects when giving up fizzy drinks, not very nice whilst going through the withdrawals as the body adjusts to no longer depending on it.

It's to do with your adenosine receptors - once they have been overly stimulated by caffeine the effect of no caffeine creates an imbalance until everything goes back to "normal".
