Too true.  I know many of my classmates can't function without sirius 
coffee intake (I'm a high school senior).  Last year we even got the 
teacher who taught junior History and Literature to let us have a 
huge coffee machine in the back of his room (I had history at the end 
of the day and Locke is hard enough to grasp).  There were days when 
I was running on three cups or so.  Now I can't have coffee; it just 
keeps me going while I feel like butter scraped over too much bread.  
Tea is wonderful though, not so much caffeine that I'm wired but 
enough to get my brain going.  As for Starbucks, when I wake up at 
six am on Saturday mornings for debate tournaments I do not survive 
without a Venti Peppermint Mocha (mmm... yummy!)
~~loony, craving Mocha right now
