At my job (silicon wafer fab), coffee is free in every break room and office. It's a small price for the company to pay to keep productivity up.

Do not drink coffee, watch work productivity collapse, get laid off...

Considering the difference between a salary and typical unemployment insurance payments, this seems like a false economy :-)
Quitting caffeine was among the best decisions I have made. You get used to not needing the "boost" to function normally. I don't get headaches from lack of caffeine intake anymore, and when I do need a "boost", a single can of pop will keep me awake for hours.

That said, I'm pulling 16hr days this week... probably going to have a very small cup of coffee this afternoon. The stuff is delicious.
