Caffeine Argumentative Essay

Gladwell offers several hypotheses for caffeine’s success as the drug of choice for the modern world. Through the eyes of Coca-Cola the modern world gets hooked with the beginning of caffeine. Gladwell writes on how the adaptability of caffeine not just in adults, but also children causes the success of the drug caffeine to become successful in the modern world. Galdwell is able to grab the readers attention by representing the product that almost every child grew up drinking, Coca-Cola. The original Coca-Cola was the late-nineteenth century blend, the mixture of alcohol, the rich kola nit and coca, which is the raw ingredient of cocaine (Gladwell 232). After the removal of the wine, and the coca, it left the modern beverage known in the twenty-first generation: the carbonated, caffeinated sugar water with less of a kick then the popular warm refreshment.
In the nineteenth thirties, the commercial artist Haddon Sundblom revolutionizes the Coca Cola industry, the image of Santa Claus with the cold refreshment of Coca-Cola product in one hand struck the young generation (Gladwell 232). Coke was reborn as the caffeine booster for children. Till

this day, the twenty-first generation recognizes the Santa Claus that started it all, but also the polar bear and his love for what is know as the popular caffeine in the modern world, Coke. Thanks to Sundblom the beginning of the caffeine in the blood system has just begun.
Although, Coca-Cola aims at the young children in the modern world coffee has made its marks in the young teens. At first coffee symbolizes the rising of the middle class, but has made its move to become a essential in everybody’s household (233). Teens cannot survive with out the dose of some sort of caffeine. Starbucks for example, is the essential drug for many young teens to get them through the early mornings they dread. Or the boost to endless study nights to make sure they pass the next days tests. A cup of coffee has between one hundred to two hundred and fifty milligrams of caffeine compared to freshly brewed tea at forty and a hundred milligrams.
Caffeine, weather in a cup of coffee, tea or a soft drink, moves through the body rather easily.

From the stomach and the intestines into the bloodstream, and from to the organs, within minutes through every single cell of the body (Gladwell 234). As quickly as the caffeine builds up, it’s gone and is why it’s safe for the modern world to overdose in. With out the daily dose of caffeine the modern world would fall more behind. The doctors with out there coffee after long hours of work, will struggle to make sure the patient is under good hands. The young children will fall behind in their studies so they can represent the upcoming generation. Caffeine is the essential drug that revolutionizes the young generation. Caffeine will still be the successful drug choice for the modern world for years to

come.
