I don't even think it qualifies as a 'mental' addiction.

I like coffee quite a lot, but I still wouldnt suck cock for it, not even yours baby.

Its not so much the beverage that people become addicted to, its caffeine, you would actually be surprised how much caffeine some people consume, without realising it, its present in tea, coffee, chocolate(both hot chocolate and the stuff in confectionary) energy drinks and quite a few other soft drinks.

Although the physical effects of withdrawal are a lot milder than withdrawal from certain addictive substances, they can and will occur if you remove caffeine intake totally from the diet.

Withdrawal symptoms including headache, irritability, an inability to concentrate, drowsiness, insomnia and pain in the stomach, upper body, and joints may appear within 12 to 24 hours after discontinuation of caffeine intake, peak at roughly 48 hours, and usually last from one to five days, representing the time required for the number of adenosine receptors in the brain to revert to "normal" levels, uninfluenced by caffeine consumption.

I doubt going cold turkey without tea would trigger uncontrollable sweating and panic attacks.

Probably not, I didnt list uncontrollable sweating or panic attacks in my last post.

Interesting to note the body can also absorb caffeine through the skin, some shampoo manufacturers now use it as an additive, as it is believed to reverse some of the causes of certain types of alopecia, as well as reduce the effect of testosterone in male pattern baldness.

So when you really crave a cup of tea or coffee, go wash your hair
