Some of the negative effects of caffeine is it makes you hyper. Its addictive and actually addictive physically addictive because if you withdraw from it after you've been using it a lot you can get all the symptoms of addiction and cold turkey withdraw that anyone can get from narcotics. It stunts growth, and the growth of a baby. If your pregnant and your consuming a lot of it before you deliver the baby will be hyper because it would have gone in the babies system. Other than needing to get up, awake and move, there is no other reason for drinking it other than it taste good.

Hi, I'm Dewayne and I'm a chronic coffee drinker. I drink between 5-6 cups of coffee a day. it got to a point where my stomach really started to be upset all the time. I had to use the bathroom a lot so I went to my doctor and he told me I had to cut back on the caffeine. He said I was drinking too much. I mean without it I was irritable, cranky and all of my friends would ask me whats wrong with me and it was defiantly the coffee.

Hi, I'm Samantha and ive been an employee of Starbucks coffee for about 6 years and I was unaware of all the effects that caffeine has on people. Throughout the years I've seen a lot of people come into the store especially the regulars who come into the store about 3-4 times a day and they need that caffeine fix. You can tell that they need the caffeine and I was unaware of all the health concerns. They come in and get shots of espresso. I had one woman even tell me that she had to cut back on her 10 shots of espresso (which is a little excessive to begin with) because she had high blood pressure and she almost had a stroke. So I'm starting to understnad what the actual problem is with caffeine.
