When I was young I did not drink coffee.  As the years passed, I slowly developed an affinity for a cup of black coffee, which I nursed through the day at my desk .

What's more, I loaded up on cups of black coffee (containing caffeine, a legal performance enhancing drug) before my marathons for an extra beneficial boost.  

Then there's espresso, usually a double, with anisette, or an espresso martini.  No decaf for me, no matter the time of day and I sleep like a baby!

This is all my pleasure (coffee ice cream too), but, all that being said, why am I now drinking my coffee through a straw?
