Is it okay to drink an occasional coke? I have stopped because of anxiety and the doctor told me to.

I'm 13. I LOVE COFFEE!!! I could drink 4-5 cups a day of it (of course I don't). But my mom keeps saying that coffee is unhealthy and that I shouldn't be drinking it until I'm 15, 16, 17. Could somebody maybe say whether it is acceptable or not to have a cup of coffee once a day or two at the age of 13? I don't see any harm in it since people start drinking Coke at 4 or 5 years old and nobody every says that's bad!
What about decaf?

I once had three cups of coffee, three "Biggie"-sized cups of Vault, and a can of Monster in one evening. I pretty much had a panic attack and a mild euphoria going. I felt awful when coming down from the buzz. I'd imagine it was a much milder version of what people feel after using coke.

Did you notice any effects from the excess caffeine?

i am suffering from anxiety disorder ever since in my younger age till now(im 24 now), and sometimes i get chills, and i feel sleepy when i drink coffee or coke,does irt have something to do with my anxiety?

I am more of a soda drinker- COKE or Mountain Dew - for my morning jolt of Caffeine. What can I order from STARBUCKS that is close in taste to Soda or Coke?

For the Past Two Days, Everytime I Drink Coke, It Tastes Horrible. I Made Coffee This Morning and Couldnt Even Drink it Because of the Taste. It Doesnt Really Taste Bitter....Just Really Bad...Why Is This Happening????

My friend allows her 10 year old son to have regular coffee with her every morning.
She rationalizes that he has coke everyday, so what is wrong with coffee? What are your opinions?

I've been trying to stay away from sodas, but I've been drinking about 6 oz of Coke or Dr Pepper once every three or four days. It might sound weird but the carbonation is the only thing that helps to settle my stomach. Is this too much for me to have while I am pregnant?

If you drink caffeine in the morning, what is your source of caffeinated beverages? I wasn't drinking caffeine for a while there but, I recently caved in and started back up again. I just love it so much. Anyway, I drink a coke every day. Sometimes I switch it up with Dr. Pepper. I can't handle coffee's anymore.

I drink coffee - not so much, but some days more than others. I drink a lt of tea. On hot days I tend to drink cans of coke outside. I want to quit all caffeine as I think it's probably very unhealthy.
Any tips?
