Either buy caffeine pills or seek professional help. The pills are probably cheaper though. You can stay high for a month with as little as $10.

I hope not. I eat my roommates coffee beans all the time since we don't have any food in our room.

if you like the attention of the opposite sex,, or the same sex if that's your preference then it's bad for you. Few people care for the look of brown teeth.

uhh, I got a huge, 360-cup thing of Folgers for like $8. How is that expensive again? Its by far the cheapest thing I drink other than tap water - if you're mixing the grounds with a cup of milk, that milk is way more expensive than the coffee....

Dude, seriously, it sounds like you cannot afford coffee. I realize that must hurt to hear, considering coffee ranks along with "shoes with laces" and "pillow that isn't a rock" in terms of luxuriousness, but I think you need to ratchet down your lifestyle a bit. You're like the guy who buys a 21 inch HDTV and plugs it into a 15 dollar pair of Wal-Mart speakers and calls it a home theatre system.

If you're that addicted to caffeine, I'd suggest watching the Fresh Prince episode where Carlton gets addicted to caffeine pills. Really gut-wrenching stuff, I'd rank it just below Requiem in terms of showing you the dark side of drug addiction.
