caffeine dependence

Needing morning joe

Caffeine dependence is a reliance on caffeine to function normally, marked by tolerance (needing more for the same effect) and withdrawal symptoms like headaches, fatigue, and irritability when intake stops.

Unlike addictions to harder substances, caffeine dependence is socially accepted and rarely disrupts daily life: I can't think straight until I've had my coffee—classic caffeine dependence.
