I've been totally hooked ever since. Mate gets me going in the morning, but it doesn't bring me to that jittery state that coffee does. Granted, I've been doing it a bit excessively lately (about 5-10 cups/day). I've read that mate is really a social drink over there in Argentina (it's home from what I can tell), and that it's not really drank while alone. I don't care... I'm going to continue drinking it whether I'm in a group or while alone because it makes me feel good. As you state... If I am addicted, I am truly glad!
