&gt; You sound like an addict just since you&#x27;re talking quantities of caffeine.<p>I might have misunderstood what you were trying to say. If I did, I apologise in advance:<p>Because I get a day-long headache whenever I don&#x27;t drink a caffeinated beverage for a day or so, I know that I&#x27;m a caffeine addict.<p>Speaking about volumes of ingestible substances with somewhat-known properties to provide a general idea of how much of a thing one is ingesting doesn&#x27;t mean that one is an addict; it means that one is interested in attempting to convey information somewhat precisely. If you don&#x27;t specify things in known quantities, you&#x27;re left with vague and imprecise descriptors like &quot;some&quot;, &quot;not much&quot;, and &quot;a lot&quot;.
