Why is DC so addictive?

Can you be addictive to DC? I am , well I think I am.
I just love the taste of it. I drink it everyday and I can go from drinking 4 cans a day to drinking twelve. It also has a tendency to make me hyper as well. And it can make me very giddy at times. When I least expect it to it makes me so giddy and hyper that sometimes it becomes to hard to control myself and to stop laughing. But other times it doesn't really have any kind of effect on me. DC is definitely strange but I love it any way and the weird ad wonderful effects it has on me.
One minute I could be down and the next I can be bouncing off the walls and I really think that has something to do with the DC. It also makes me find the stupidest thigs very funny which can sometimes annoy people because they are not finding the same things funny.
I don't know if other people get this from DC or if it effects them the way it can effect me but it would be interesting to hear what effect if any DC has on other peopleon here or why they think it does weird things to me most the the time. As I said before it doesn't effect me all the time and that is the part that I don't really understand. I wonder why it doesn't effect me all the time. That would be a very interesting thing to find out.
As I am sat here I have just had my brekkie and now I have just opened my first can of DC of the day and I don't have a clue how many more I'm gonna have today but I say I have an adverage of 8 a day, spmetimes slightly less and sometimes up to 6 more. At the moment I am buying 2 x 24 packs of DC a week and they are just lasting me. If I go out for the day a couple of times a week then they do last me and I might have a couple of cans left over at the end of the week but if I don't then sometimes I have to buy some more. I do like to drink Ribena light but getting back into the routine of drinking that as well is not on my lit of priorities at the moment as the thought of the taste now doesn't really compare with the taste of the DC I hold in my hand.
Every 4-6 months there comes a point were I go off DC and drink hardly any of it. I can go down to 2 cans a day or in some cases none a day. I do get to the point were it just doesn't taste any good and I just can't drink it. The last time that happened I didn't drink it for 2 weeks but then I started drinking it again and it tasted so good and I am drinking more than ever. Everything I need a drink I reach for another can of DC when I really should vary my drinks. Even if I had ribena light a couple of times a day that would be a lot better. The only other thing I am drinking other than DC is Evain and I only drink that when I go to bed. I drink a little to qurench my thirst just before I get in bed and if I wake up thirsty in the middle of the night I will have some more. It's only because thee is no point in having DC in the middle of the night becuae that would mean walking down stairs to the fridge and getting one out and going back upstairs with it and opening it. Plus I know I wouldn't drink it all and that most of the can would end up getting wasted plus the journey to the fridge would probably wake me up fully and then I would have trouble getting back to sleep.
Anyway now Ii have gone on for ages I would really like your comment on DC and what you think of it. Do you think I am drinking too much? Do you think I should try drinking another drink as well? Do you think I should try to cut down to an adverage of 6 cans a day? What do you think? What are your thoughts on DC?
