Sleep Bad - Coffee Good

File under Totally Unsurprising News: Seattle is America's coffee drinking-est metro area, according to a very scientific study by The Daily Beast, smoking our nearest competition in Portland.

So what does it take to be the biggest bunch of caffeine junkies in the good ol' U S of A? First of all, a truly startling variety of coffee shops to choose from, with 35 coffee shops per 100,000 residents. And while being the home of the worldwide face of coffee certainly doesn't hurt, there are also, thankfully, plenty of quality establishments and roasters around to help you satisfy your most acceptable drug addiction.

It also means spending an average of $36 per month on coffee drinks, which...seems kind of low, doesn't it? We don't like to think we have a problem with caffeine consumption, but your Seattlest has been known to spend $36 on coffee in the course of a particularly rotten day, much less a month. But it's not because we have a problem - it's because we love our health food! Our hot, dark, buzz inducing health food.
