I don't really know where I am going with this but go to a Tim Hortons anywhere in the city during the morning rush hour and tell me that people aren't addicted to caffine...

In my little list of vices to ban in post 101 I left out coffee:
Contrary to belief Coffee/caffine is not bad for you in moderation. I questioned a Doctor on this a year or so ago. I asked him "whats so bad about a few cups of coffee in the morning?..what part of my body is it hurting?" he stumbled a little and blurted "Liver"..
He was wrong? as are many people when talking about the consumption of coffee.
"The latest research has not only confirmed that moderate coffee consumption doesn't cause harm, it's also uncovered possible benefits. Studies show that the risk for type 2 diabetes is lower among regular coffee drinkers than among those who don't drink it. Also, coffee may reduce the risk of developing gallstones, discourage the development of colon cancer, improve cognitive function, reduce the risk of liver damage in people at high risk for liver disease, and reduce the risk of Parkinson's disease. Coffee has also been shown to improve endurance performance in long-duration physical activities"
