Coffee and Caffeine: A Duel to the Death

摘要

What would happen if there was no coffee to wake us in the morning? As a caffeine addict myself, I would not be a very happy camper. How about you? Read on for some eye-opening facts. I once heard it said that we can thank the Arab culture for the invention of coffee. I did and I do almost every day. Apparently, it was invented long ago so that they could stay awake for their late night and early morning prayer sessions. I don't know about late nights, but early mornings have always been a significant part of my world and I don't know if that would be the case without coffee. How DO people wake up without it? (I need two big cups; one for each eye and .then another for my mind's eye, wherever that is.) I only drink it in the morning, but my guess is that my daily caffeine consumption is pretty high. Still, I love it and refuse to contemplate life and its trials without it.
