I don't think you need the sarcasm tag. Most people seem to use it as a drug to get them going in the morning and on through the day. I usually hear people complaining about how they wish they didn't need to drink so much to get through each day. Then again, I live in a region where it is cloudy much of the year, so it does seem to help with the lack of sunlight.

Why stop at coffee? Why not ingest nicotine everyday? Or amphetamine salts? Caffeine is still a drug. The health benefits are minor at best, in that it will reduce insulin resistance. But any stimulant will do that, because it elevates your basal metabolic rate.
