Americano 6.5% Mocha 9.3% Espresso 14% No Coffee 70.1% Personas Litrature Review Abstract Caffeine is the most commonly used drug in the world. Although consumption of low to moderate doses of caffeine is generally safe, an increasing number of clinical studies are showing that some caffeine users become dependent on the drug and are unable to reduce consumption despite knowledge of recurrent health problems associated with continued use. Thus, the World Health Organization and some health care professionals recognize caffeine dependence as a clinical disorder. In this comprehensive literature review, we summarize published research on the biological evidence for caffeine dependence; we provide a systematic review of the prevalence of caffeine dependence and rates of endorsement of clinically meaningful indicators of distress and functional impairment among habitual caffeine users; we discuss the diagnostic criteria for Caffeine Use Disorder—a condition for further study included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders; and we outline a research agenda to help guide future clinical, epidemiological, and genetic investigations of caffeine dependence. Numerous controlled laboratory investigations reviewed in this article show that caffeine produces behavioral and physiological effects similar to other drugs of dependence. Moreover, several recent clinical studies indicate that caffeine dependence is a clinically meaningful disorder that affects a nontrivial proportion of caffeine users. Nevertheless, more research is needed to determine the reliability, validity, and prevalence of this clinically important health problem. Introductio n Caffeine is the most widely used drug in the world. In the United States, more than 90% of adults use it regularly, and, among them, average consumption is more than 200 mg of caffeine per day. More caffeine than is contained in two 6-ounce cups of coffee or five 12-ounce cans of soft drinks. Although consumption of low to moderate doses of caffeine is generally safe, consumption of higher doses by vulnerable individuals can lead to increased risk for negative health consequences, including cardiovascular problems and perinatal complications. Moreover, a number of recent studies show that some caffeine users become addicted to or dependent on caffeine. Many of these individuals are unable to reduce consumption despite knowledge of recurrent health problems associated with continued caffeine use. We begin the present review by providing a brief statement about caffeine dependence nomenclature and summarizing the published literature on the biological evidence for caffeine dependence. We then discuss the diagnostic criteria for Caffeine Use Disorder, a condition for further study recently published in the Diagnositc and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. We also provide a systematic review of the clinical evidence for Caffeine Use Disorder and rates of endorsement of the diagnostic criteria for this research diagnosis. Finally, because this diagnosis is intended to stimulate a further study of Caffeine Use Disorder, we conclude the article with a discussion of future research directions.

According to asian journal of psychiatry https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S187620181630538X Caffeine consumption has been constantly growing in India especially among children and youngsters. Addictive potential of caffeine has long been reported, still there is lack of awareness about caffeine abuse in India. There is an intense need for appropriate public health regulatory measures and awareness about addictive potential & harms related to caffeine. To the best of our knowledge this is first case from India highlighting several important issues with progressive caffeine abuse resulting in dependence leading to physical, psychological, academic and social consequences; psychotic symptoms during intoxication; predisposing factors as impulsivity and novelty seeking traits in pre-morbid personality; psychosis in family; poor awareness of health hazards even among medical professionals. Widely variable caffeine containing products are available but caffeine content or its safety limit is not mentioned on caffeine products in India. Due to harmful consequences, legal availability to children, growing consumption of caffeine products, it is utmost essential to recognize caffeine as addictive substance and impose regulatory measures on sale, advertisement, maximum caffeine content, health consequences and safety limits of caffeine containing products. Further school teachers, parents and medical practitioners need to be made aware of health hazards of caffeine. Caffeine use shall always be enquired from patients presenting with psychiatric complaints. Further research and survey are required on caffeine use and related problems. Caffeine is, according to New Scientist publication, the planet's most popular "psychoactive drug". In the United States alone, more than 90% of adults are estimated to use it every day.

Results and Affinity Mapping In the data collected among college students, about 79.4% were found to intake caffeinated beverages, among which about 25 % intake was by coffee, 20.6% in the form of tea, 4.4% in the form of carbonated drinks like coke, and 35.3% as chocolates. Caffeine may promote the consumption of the caffeine-containing beverages by the development of flavour preferences where individuals associate unconsciously a flavour, leading to its high intake. Among the subjects, 57.4% of students admitted that caffeine is essential for them to get through a day at college. This implies that more than half of the student population depend on caffeine as a necessity. There have been numerous reports that caffeine is an ergogenic aid; ingestion of the drug has been shown to increase endurance. This is in accordance with the findings, that 58.8% of the subjects felt that caffeine increased their alertness and activeness during the day and helped them perform better at college. Yet, around 55% of the subjects were not driven to have that caffeinated food stuff at the very thought of it, which shows that they are not driven by the desire to have it all the time, but 41% have reported that they would try to get that food stuff as early as possible to fulfil their desire. Also, the most preferred time for taking the food stuff was found to be in the evening. About 60% of the subjects admitted to feel sleepy during the day, even though they had enough amount of sleep the previous night. This might indicate that their metabolism gets slowed down, due to the continued intake of caffeine which results in sluggishness and sleepiness. Only about 13.2% reported to have an alcoholic person in the family, which may indicate a relation between alcoholism and addiction to caffeine. Also, other studies have shown lower rates of caffeine abstinence in people with a familial trait of alcoholism. The suggestion of a genetic component to problematic caffeine use is consistent.Studies comparing human monozygotic and dizygotic twins have shown heritabilities of caffeine use, tolerance, and withdrawal ranging from 35%-77%.Interestingly, exactly 13.2% of the subjects reported that they were said that there were certain. Conclusion The data suggests that more than half of the interviewees believe that caffeine has increased their activeness during the day. Also, 20.6% think that they are addicted to caffeine on their own, without proper diagnosis by a specialist. This might indicate that with proper diagnosis, more subjects are probable to be confirmed to be addicted to caffeine. The addiction to caffeine might be related to the occurance of stains on teeth. Caffeine has been proven to increase alertness and has an advantage. At the same time, over-intake of caffeine may cause adverse effects, which might be the need to keep a check on the intake of caffeine. More research may be required to enlighten the society on the addiction of caffeine and its adverse effects on health and disease. User Scenarios 1. Signup Process 2. Record a drink and it's cost 3.
