Seperate out coffee drinking from food intake. Notice the buzz. Treated as drug and less a beverage, you can continue to self medicate, no?

The enjoyment as _beverage_ is indeed my convoluted point. If the substance is treated as a drug, it can be enjoyed in moderate doses as a beverage. I must be under the influence of re-reading Avital Ronell’s _Crack Wars. Literature Addiction Mania_ where the food/drug distinction is held to be tenuous. I like how the cuisine entries weave in and out of the blog, just like the entries on stimulants, at Words’ End.
