Perhaps so. But be aware that people who consume caffeinated drinks
regularly do become addicted and if they go for a day or two without
drinking them withdrawal symptoms will appear. Watch for headaches
appearing around noon on Saturday.
We need to remember that many of us--adults & kids--do regularly use this
drug and plan accordingly.
