I drink coffee for the joy of it, it doesn't increase my productivity.

This is why I hate this stuff. I hate people joking about how much coffee they're drinking because they have so much work to do and don't get to sleep. Meanwhile, every coffee joke sounds like this to me.

More than 400mg of caffeine a day can cause a host of health issues. Of course, because it's legalized and widely available, people discredit the risks.

Just like acetaminophen, which is responsible for 56,000 emergency department visits, 2,600 hospitalizations, and 500 deaths per year, according to the NIH.
