Its true, like most drugs out there, you take it at first for the feeling it gives you, but after a while you end up taking it out of necessity to feel normal if consumption is daily like coffee. Your brain will always try to balance itself, that is why when you have that very first cup of coffe/ciggarette/most stimulants, you feel fucking great because you have a surplus of neurotransmitters.
It really depends on dosage, your body chemistry (because some people are more sensitive than others to certain drugs, this does not include the mechanism of drug tolerance) and how frequent you use a drug.
"Moderation is key", is very often neglected advice, it's not that it is hard to understand, it is just that urges are hard to resist, we always want to feel 100% or more (who doesn't), but understanding the importance of balance when it comes to your brain and the usage of drugs will benifit an individual greatly.
Those who do not consume any psychoactive drug(a chemical substance that changes brain function and results in alterations in perception, mood, or consciousness) need not worry.
I used to drink coffee everyday, in the end i drank coffee to satisfy my coffee cravings [that is the truth], though i didn't like this, so i added the justifications that;
1. caffeine gives me energy,
2. makes me more awake.
These are also both true, but become less apparant the more coffee you drink over time. With a high, later comes a low/crash, for an in the moment thing coffee is ok, but after a few hours you start to crash and need another one to stay at a high, this is a bit costly on your brain as it will need to work harder to continue to go back to a balanced state, too much caffeine will mean that your brain my not be able to compensate for all the neurotransmitters used during the high and that is when things can go wrong.
I'm not saying to not use coffee, its fucking awesome, moderation is key.
