Just saw this article on the Blaze. They won't let me post a link, but google "
Here’s What Happens in the Hour After You Drink a Can of Coke"


Importantly, you notice that at 45 minutes after consumption, your body produces dopamine. They compare this to heroine. I've often heard that in severe cases of PTSD, people have huge crashes as the body keeps trying to stop the vicious cycle or self soothing to reduce the pain. Some people with PTSD have been brought into the ER and they think they are having a heroin overdose only to find out it's just their body producing chemicals to try to help with the pain. So if you put things into your body that already has issues with dopamine production, you are speeding the very nasty cycle up.
