I'm not sure if it's an actual addiction but I know that I need my Coke on a regular basis. It's pretty much the only thing I do drink - either coke or coffee during the day. I think it may be the caffiene in it that you become addicted to rather than the coke itself. I find that if I don't have something caffinated without about an hour of waking up in the morning I'm going to get such a headache.

Yes, it is an addiction. My sister in law and her family are coca cola addicts and my husband is a pepsi-cola addict. I have been turning to more water, crystal lite and healthier drinks. I try not to have that much pop/soda in my house for me or my son. I would like him to start drinking more healthier also. It is so bad for my husband that he actually has withdrawls if he don't have his pepsi. It is due to the caffeine and sugan in the pop/soda. It triggers the chemicals in your brain to keep craving more and more.

Yes you can, it's the caffine in it mainly that hooks you.. My brother is totally addicted, it is riddiculas the amount he actually drinks everyday. His teeth are paying for it too.

Yes you can get addicted to it. all that caffeine and sugar, and other stuff that they put into it is not good for you at all. You should listen to your father.

Yes, I do love it. We drink coca cola in dinner instead of water. It's in our habit. I know drinking cola is bad for health but we just trying to skip coke sometimes while having food but each time we try, we just fail. But now, I will strictly follow to drink coke occasionally not daily and regularly. It's in our regular food. My husband like it more than me. I think we are addicted to it.
