Last thought - this article was about sobriety - and no matter how healthy someone's relationship to alcohol is, everyone becomes not sober when they drink. right?

But even if you are heavily addicted, and suffering mental, emotional, physiologic consequences of an unhealthy relationship to coffee - how could drinking coffee make you not sober? Like in a state of craving, is that what you mean by not sober....?

Clearly your article really got me thinking...thank you.
