    in the past some people campaigned and even enacted criminal laws against coffee:

    Prohibition, widely enacted in the early 20th century in the US and northern Europe, is often brought up as an example of female activism and a consequence of suffrage, but long before the introduction of universal suffrage similar restrictionist movements had almost resulted in heavy penalties for, of all things, drinking coffee.

    In late 1675, King Charles II of England banned the sale and consumption of coffee in “a proclamation for the suppression of coffee-houses.”

    If something imbibed or masticated is in the news recently as being good for you, fear not, it will be in the news again before year's end as something bad for you.

    Except if you are in California. Then it's real bad for you all the time and causes cancer.

    The girl needs to quit smoking though. She might be date material.

    Yeah man. If she likes Saltine crackers in inopportune places, okay. If she smokes Salems or Dorals, no way.

    A thought occurred to me and I don't quite know how to express it without sounding silly. But I shall try: and that is, that somehow, there is something sexy about ladies drinking coffee:

    I could post another hundred photos like this. By the way, I also get the same feeling about some ladies smoking. For the life of me, I cannot explain why but consider this:

    ^ This vintage photo of NYC beauty took place in 1949. Coffee and Chesterfield ciggie - so rare nowadays.





    But, as you say, smoking is not quite so kosher for anyone while coffee is life!

    when I was growing up, Coffee was a adult only food... they gave us pop with sugar or other sugary drinks

    course they told us low fat, high carbs was better for you too .... so do they really know?
