Coffee is good for you
I know that everyone thinks they drink a lot of coffee, but I drink a lot of coffee.
It’s my one true vice in that I will drink it any time I feel like, and pay any amount without so much as blinking an eye.
I mean… how expensive can coffee truly be? Therein lies the beauty of coffee as a vice. Unlike alcohol where a single glass can cost you $200 for a single pour, the worst damage a coffee can do to your wallet is a ~$12 cup from Blue Bottle (which is totally and completely worth it, btw).
So… how much coffee is too much coffee?

Note: That is a LARGE denominator and a LONG amount of time to be studying individuals.
