#Withdrawal

A recent feature has revealed that over 80% of Americans consume caffeine daily, underscoring the beverage’s entrenched position in modern lifestyles and sparking renewed interest in the health implications of caffeine use and withdrawal. As the world’s most widely consumed psychoactive substance, caffeine has found its way into the daily rituals of millions, not only in the United States but also in countries like Thailand—where coffee shops, energy drinks, and instant coffee products are part of the urban and rural landscape. The widespread consumption and growing efforts among some to quit raise important questions about caffeine’s effects on health, its deep cultural roots, and strategies for managing dependence and withdrawal.
