    Because we are to avoid unhealthful things. Caffeine, as a "recreational drug," is not healthful. Some (like myself) don't use caffeine except when we need a mild stimulant for health or safety reasons and prefer one which is relatively benign.

    Far from being an excuse, when given the choice between pharmacueticals and caffeine, caffeine wins hands-down.

    • Here we have the "medicinal" excuse! A justification to consume caffeine.

    • SS, everything has its proper use. It's when we abuse them that they become problems. Caffeine is no different.

    • (v Alatea) We don*t need a *justification*, because it*s simply not against our religion.
