Same here. I've always had a thing for coffee and iced tea, since I was 7 or 8 years old. I am guilty of overusing caffeine to keep a budding hypo/manic episode going, but it doesn't make me that way. I can't even imagine going without it...every time I have surgery, I come out of the anesthesia with a fierce headache and begging for coffee!
