Coca Cola is addictive in two  ways. First, there is the drug caffeine, which is a psychoactive stimulant drug. Because caffeine is primarily an antagonist of the central nervous system's receptors for the neurotransmitter adenosine, the bodies of individuals who regularly consume caffeine adapt to the continual presence of the drug by substantially increasing the number of adenosine receptors in the central nervous system.
The second way in which it gets you is simply through the amount of sugar in it. Sugar is pure fuel for us humans. We have evolved in such a way that means that we crave anything that gives us energy - .

Definitely Addictive.

Know someone who's being addicted to it from age 6-7yrs. Good thing is she tries to "wean"
herself off,albeit for short periods if time. Can easily go on 3-4 litres daily without needing
to have any proper meals.

Tried other colas......... not as addictive as C-Cola.

try to wean yourself off it. At least reduce the amount you drink.

The sugar in it is what is addictive. The brain likes the sweet taste of sugar and craves for it . sugar is not healthy for the body

Its just a habit developed over time.it is a bad one because of its contents - sugar which is not too good for health and how often you consume it. Certain foods are not good for consumption as one ages.
