Vice or Virtue?

So, I am sitting and sipping here at Starbucks enjoying my cappuccino and wondering to myself, is my addiction to coffee a vice or virtue? So, I am weighing the pros and cons of it... Here's my tally so far:

Vice:
-addiction of any kind is bad, right?

-can disrupt my sleep, which I already get very little of, boo!
-can raise my blood pressure, that totally sucks!
-decreases bone density. uh-oh.

Virtue:
-boosts memory. I need ALL the help I can get!

-increases concentration. enough said.
-contains magnesium and chromium which helps control my blood sugar, especially since I use a TON of sugar in my coffee :)
-antioxidants. HELLO! yes, need those, badly!
-lowers my risk of dementia. this one hits home, so my verdict is YES to coffee!


Isn't it virtuous to be good to yourself? I think yes.
