I’m at the movie theatre and I noticed they don’t serve coffee at the concession stand. The person working at the concession stand said that people ask her about coffee all the time. They should serve coffee! 
That's a fantastic outline of some of the disastrous effects of caffeine on the brain and body. You only have to look at the plethora of images and gifs of coffee and corresponding desperate quotes below them, posted daily for several years in the speak your mind thread and others, to observe the intake, the abuse, is far more than just 'one a day, if that'. The follow up health issues mentioned in subsequent posts reflect the true states of being.
Remember, coffee is a drug. Not getting enough healthy calories and carbohydrates for the brain will have you thinking 'heck, I need some energy!' so it sends you to a false source of it. Being so attached and dependent on coffee is the expected outcome when you're not getting enough glucose or natural sugars to your brain, immediately you start to focus on other sources to get that kick of energy. Adding in more caffeine, giving you a high, suppresses your appetite more, eating less and running on nervous energy. When you take the natural sugars out that you would normally find in something like fruit, the brain will send you to another source of energy.
When you're running on adrenaline, you feel panicky and anxious. Not sleeping, insomnia, has also got a lot do with not eating enough calories in the correct foods. It is connected with heart disease, high cholesterol, fluid loss in the body, rheumatoid arthritis, strokes, damaged blood vessels, insomnia, anxiety symptoms and depleted calcium and iron in women. Getting off the caffeine will stop long term metabolic damage and prevent that short term dehydration weight loss and ultimately a save from the caffeine diuretic addiction.

laura_charlotte: "Caffeine diuretic addiction?" "Dehydration weight loss?"
Caffeine is addictive, and overuse does have some health detriments... although my 86 year old grandmother might argue that last point, as she still volunteers at the nursing home (she calls the bingo numbers.) You can make a legitimate case against caffeine. You don't have to make things up.
I have never heard any woman say, "Oh man, I feel so bloated today. I have got to get some coffee to get back down to my normal weight!"

For those genuinely interested in learning and thinking critically I will elaborate further for productivity. Caffeine can be a diuretic addiction that can give metabolic damage. It may not be an obvious, direct motive of any to lose weight via its intake, but for those who do begin a consistent intake of caffeine when they've come from such a contrasting, healthy lifestyle, they can find, as a byproduct, short term, a weight loss occuring and this is due to the dehydration caused by the drug of caffeine itself. In essence, it is a drug well worth staying away from.
Y'all have turned this into one of those "I MUST have the last word!" arguments. You're not going to quit until you get the last post lambasting coffee and nobody else says anything.
As you will. CAFFEINE ROCKS! There. Now you make a post about the evils of caffeine and I won't say anything else in this thread and you can be happy.
