And, yes, they say that like it's a bad thing

According to the caffeine-free industry, March is Caffeine Awareness Month.

Apt commentary from my favorite coffee shop/community-journalism blog, Baristanet:

According to these caffeine nannies, drinking too much coffee can lead to moodiness, insomnia, anxiety, heartburn, tremors, depression and irregular heartbeat. And they have pictures on their website of people in white jackets wearing stethoscopes.

Downer, man.

In our experience, drinking too little coffee can lead to headaches, listlessness, sleepiness, depression and not getting a damn thing done all day.

I'm with Baristanet. Although the four-pot-a-day habit I developed in my youth has now subsided to two mugs plus the odd 20-ounce Dr Pepper, I still don't get enough sleep to allow me to forgo my morning jolt entirely.
