CNBC: The Coffee Addiction

They really need a special series wrapper for their own documentaries. They rerun a zillion times, so it's not like it's hard to miss them (eventually), but still..

I've always found coffee addiction interesting. In this country we have the "War on Drugs", but coffee is never mentioned.

Millions of people are literally non-functional before they have a cup, and if they give it up they suffer withdrawal symptoms. What's the definition of addiction again?

Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Oh wait, that's insanity.

I watched this last night. Thought it was pretty good.

Not bad. I'd recommend it. I'd also recommend "Prohibition" on PBS. Great documentary about the origins of Alcohol Prohibition.
