Right and wrong. It depends on your interpretation of "addictive." Coffee contains caffeine, which stimulates the nervous system. Although regular consumption is associated with mild physical dependence, experts agree that coffee has nothing in common with dependence on drugs or alcohol.

Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, found no correlation between coffee consumption and increased risk of death. In general, consuming about 400 mg of caffeine per day is considered safe. The average US citizen consume 200 mg in 3 cups of coffee per day.

It takes about 4 to 5 hours for the body to clean (flush) caffeine from coffee. Unless you are very sensitive to caffeine, some cups during the day will not affect your sleep. However, it is better to avoid coffee about six hours before bedtime.
