Coffee - Good or Evil?
Source: Amy's

Caffeine can
* keep you up for an extra hour of fun (or studying), but you might crash harder once it wears off.
* possibly cure a headache (the secret ingredient in Excedrin is caffeine).
* dehydrate you by making you unrinate more (it's a diuretic).
* up your metabolism - but not enough to burn significantly more calories.

Caffeine can't
* make you lose weight
* sober you up (you'll be more awake, but you'll still be drunk)

The bottom line?
Keep it to one cup or (can of soda) a day and you'll be fine.
