We live in a coffee culture. We don't get enough exercise, we don't eat well, we don't get enough sleep, and we make up for that by going to Starbucks every morning for a Vente Latte.
The first question is, do we need it? The answer to this one is easy. No. Is it enjoyable? Probably. The fact is, you could get more energy from eating and apple than you good from a cup of coffee (without the yellow teeth and bad breath.
The second question is, why do we do it? It is cultural. The coffee shops are there, we see people in them, so we feel it is normal, acceptable, and maybe even required. It is also a matter of competition in the work place. The productive employee on the caffeine high is going to beat out the semi productive employee.
The biggest downfall of Coffee drinking is the crash. We drink coffee to wake up in the morning. Then we drink three more cups to get through the work/school day, and by the time we are back with our family or friends, we are crashing.
Grab an apple.
