Caffeine Pros & Cons (a little info for those who care) :P

How about some interesting facts?

Coffee Facts:

* Coffee represents 71% of all the United States caffeine consumption.
* When coffee first appeared in Africa, it was used as a type of religious intoxicant.
* Americans' taste for coffee grew during the early nineteenth century, as a result of tea imports being cut off due to the War of 1812.

And for your next big party, try serving this:
