I rarely drink coffee and sometimes drink soda, but never in the morning. I’m concerned about developing a need for caffeine.

Once I thought coffee was giving me migraines so I quit it cold turkey for 2 months. Turns out it wasn't so I started again. I just like a warm drink in the morning. Caffeine itself doesn't really do anything to me I don't think. I can drink a coffee at 11pm and pass out at 1130 no problem.
