Eventually, your body will develop a tolerance of the caffeine. It will take more and more to get that same kick later on.
The other risk is dependence and withdrawls. Sounds crazy, I know. I used to drink 1/2 – 1 pot of coffee every day. Now I’m down to 2 cups. If I go without my coffee, I get the worst headache. Be careful. Those drinks can be baaaaad news.
