Ya just can't win

On NPR this morning a piece telling that coffee drinking is up among college students.  Coffee houses are packed in the evenings.
  But then, they switch to the dark side, the evils of coffee.  It ruins your sleep, turning good virtuous hivalue REM sleep into unhealthy Starbucks sleep.  Coffee drinking leads to sleep deprivation, a serious problem among college students.  NPR raved along on this line for several minutes. 
  Damn.  We have college students drinking something fairly innocuous, and NPR is nagging about it.  Coffee won't get you into the kind of trouble that beer or pot can. 
Then for an encore, NPR switches to a piece about how the University of Vermont is saving the planet by banning bottled water.
