It's if/when you stopped drinking it you would find out whether you have an addiction - or a dependency. Do you think there's a difference between an addiction or a dependency? Is it basically the same? I like to think there is, so I don't have to face up to that I might have been addicted to caffeine 🙈😂 Perhaps I'm just kidding myself.
I'm sure the addiction and the dependence is not the same. I stopped to drink coffee for around 6 months in 2021 (when I restarted, I started to drink just espresso), but I did not feel secondary effects. So...in my opinion the addiction is when you like / love something, and the dependence is when you can't live without this thing :)
