Coffee

On an unrelated note, I don't get the romance around coffee, as someone who doesn't really like the taste, obviously there are elements of it that just aren't for me and I accept that, that isn't what I am talking about. Coffee, and the caffeine that comes with it, seems to be the only drug that no one gives you are hard time for being addicted to, which is sad really, if more people treated heroin addicts the same way they do coffee drinkers we might have fewer drug problems.

Or not.

Anyway, the point is, if I was to tell you"I am just not myself until I had my... morning shot of whiskey", or "don't talk to me until I have had my beer". You would be understandably worried, I hope, maybe not, maybe no one cares about my drinking problem, but there you go. Replace beer with cocaine or hell, even pot, in that sentence and people will react poorly at best I think, however with coffee you just laugh and accept it, we have taken being addicted to a drug beyond the point of social acceptance to something more like a social expectation.

And that is pretty messed up if you ask me. Why is it, cool isn't the right word, more like normal I guess? Why is it normal to depend on a stimulant to function normally in the morning?

In the grand scheme of things there are certainly worse problems, this one maybe isn't really even a problem as such, it is just strange to me.
