Well, I've also seen studies done using fMRI (Functional MRI - maps brain activity graphically) showing that if someone is a regular coffee drinker, that their brain activity in the occipital and parietal lobes is decreased if they're deprived of their addictive substance, while when they get up to their usual dose, the brain function is about equal to a non-addicted person. So, in other words, maybe you _don't_ want me driving without my morning coffee, since those two parts of the brain are used for vision and hearing... Dave Hinz
