Health Canada would agree with you..

I don't have an opinion because I've never had the pleasure of drinking the stuff before.. but I have been on Coca-Cola before, and Jolt.. and the caffeine definitely makes me wide awake in my younger years, to put in the necessary all nighters for school and work..

I can attest, that caffeine can become relied on artificially.. caffeine itself in high doses, could have a drug like effect..
