Hmm, I still think it's the way caffeine affects your nervous system that makes you alert. I've been a caffeine junkie for as long as I can remember, but I've never been addicted. There's been times where I've stopped drinking anything caffeinated for a few days at a time, and I never experienced any negative side effects.
Some people definitely feel blah without their caffeine because they ARE addicted though, so it could be both.
I never drank tea until coffee started making me feel awful. I had to get my caffeine fix somehow and now I'm very hooked on tea. I feel a bit blah without it, but it might be psychosomatic, since the way we react to drugs is strongly dependent on our expectations. I expect my morning tea to make me feel good, so if I don't have my tea, I don't feel good.
Do you drink coffee..?
