Strange. I know now no one who thinks drinking coffee is batshit crazy. We must hang out/work with very different people...

Last I checked, caffeine in moderate doses has a mixed bag of positive and negative effects that's not clearly net negative.

There's controversy around whether moderate alcohol consumption (think 1 drink/day) has a positive effect. (Some studies say it does, but it's argued it's a statistical anomaly because people who don't drink at all are weird, e.g. former alcoholics, people with medical conditions that forbids them any alcohol, etc.)
