Oh yeah, I remember...Caffiene weakens the flap seperating the esophagus and the stomach, and only the stomach has the ability to handle the high acidity of that substance in there...it ranks just under battery acid in potency, so when laying down, the acid can creep into your esophagus and burn it, causing irritation. Years of this can lead to cancer in that tube.
You are young now, but in ten more years you will start suffering from your choices.
Also, caffiene affects the intake of calcium in your body, and the calcium you take in now is very important. By age 30, if you have not taken in enough for your body to have the right amount banked away, osteoperosis will be the result. Women who take in caffiene regularly are setting themselves up for old age with pain.
It is amazing what I have been learning in Nutrition class. They should teach this earlier than college, because by then habits are well established and harder to break.
