And...thank goodness for that.

So it should be illegal?

There are caffeine addicts. However, I've never heard of caffeine-whores or caffeine houses. Not a very high priority threat.

You've never been in a Starbucks?
Make coffee illegal? You can have my coffee when you pry my cold, dead fingers off my cup.

Drinking a lot of coffee may have more serious effects than anxiety and insomnia.
Coffee has over three hundred chemicals; only one of them being caffeine.
-One study revealed that not only was coffee drinking associated with increased risk of bladder cancer, but the drinking of non-diet cola drinks also was linked to this problem.
-Coffee drinking increases the risk of birth defects.
-Coffee drinking increases blood pressure, increasing the risk of heart disease.
Some studies have suggested that caffeine impairs fertility, but usually only if three or more cups of regular coffee are consumed a day.
There's also been a link shown between coffee consumption and the number of hip fractures among the elderly because of weakened bones..
A drop of caffeine injected into the skin of an animal will produce death within a few minutes. An infinitely small amount injected into the brain will cause convulsions. The amount of caffeine in a cup of coffee is quite small, yet we drink coffee because of the effect of the caffeine, just as we smoke because of the effect of the nicotine. Both are drugs, and both are habit-forming. Both are poisons.

And on my side:

Want a drug that could lower your risk of diabetes, Parkinson's disease, and colon cancer? That could lift your mood and treat headaches? That could lower your risk of cavities? If it sounds too good to be true, think again. Coffee, the much maligned but undoubtedly beloved beverage, just made headlines for possibly cutting the risk of the latest disease epidemic, type 2 diabetes. And the real news seems to be that the more you drink, the better.

And then you're going for a jog, right?

But the harder you exercise, the more benefit you may get from coffee. "Unfortunately, where you see the enhancing effects from caffeine is in hard-working athletes, who are able to work longer and somewhat harder," says Graham, who has studied the effects of caffeine and coffee for nearly two decades. "If you a recreational athlete who is working out to reduce weight or just feel better, you're not pushing yourself hard enough to get an athletic benefit from coffee or other caffeinated products."
