Lifehack defends my #2 vice with grace and style. Snippet to follow:
How to Defend Your Coffee Habit:
This is why we start drinking coffee in the first place, right? I started binge drinking coffee in order to stay up all night working on various projects, though it didn’t take long for coffee consumption to become a hobby in its own right.
Drinking coffee improves your concentration, alertness and staves off a tired mind. For me, work comes to a halt when I’m missing any of the above, especially concentration or alertness. Ten or twenty minutes after a cup of coffee, I can be back to work for a few more hours.
Apparently coffee improves your short term memory, which indicates that I’m not drinking nearly enough of it. Did I mention that coffee improves your short term memory?
Praise the lord and pass the coffee. If you need me, i’ll be shaking from a caffeine overdose in the corner.

Coffee got me through at least two years’ worth of papers in college. I saw the sunrise just about every day during the last three weeks of the spring semester my senior year, and a large iced coffee was as much a companion as my Big-ass Book of Shakespeare. (Oh, and Half-Life. But we don’t talk about that part.)
There were a few times my heart would start beating way too fast, but damn was the sky pretty.

I’m not sure what my #1 vice is.
It has taken me hours to write a single page.

Too much caffeine is also bad for your heart.
Not to kill your buzz.

Yeah but Marty’s number one vice is good for his heart because his number one vice is Shannon. Except she’s not a vice, unless she’s a vice squad member but I think she would have to feather her hair or something and definitely wear more pastels and carry a gun in a shoulder holster or something.
I think I had too much coffee this morning.
