The author makes it seem as if you have two choices: "tolerance and dependence" or "kick the habit". Maybe acting like caffeine is methamphetamine bumps up the pageviews, I don't know.

But I do know that caffeine once or twice a week for a burst of energy won't see you developing a tolerance - so you can continue to benefit.

There's also quite a bit of range between people who drink two cups of mild coffee a day, people who drink soda and people who chug down espressi.

It depends on the quantity too. We drink espresso, but only 1-2 oz of coffee per cup, which has less caffeine than one of the buckets of diluted coffee from e.g. Starbucks.

Yeah, really. I can drunk a "shot" of Turkish coffee and not feel anything like the jittery hit I get from a full mug of normal filter-coffee.
