Is There a Coffee Rehab Program?

"Caffeine intoxication" leads to restlessness, nervousness, excitement, insomnia, flushing of the face, increased urination, gastrointestinal disturbance, muscle twitching, a rambling flow of thought and speech, irritability, irregular or rapid heart beat, psychomotor agitation, mania, depression, lapses in judgment, disorientation, disinhibition, delusions, hallucinations, psychosis, and rhabdomyolysis (breakdown of skeletal muscle tissue).
Caffeine has been linked to Parkinson's Disease, high blood pressure, heart disease, stomach ulcers, unsightly stained teeth, infertility, hip fractures (?!), and possibly cancer.

Mmmmmm, a commercial about the richness of Kona coffee. Must have cup now...
