CHICAGOANS CAFFEINE CHAMPS

Sure the Bears are in last place in the division, the Bulls have not won a game (0-4), the Cubs got bounced from the first round of the playoffs, and the White Sox were just plain horrible, but Chicagoans can hold their heads up high as a survey has shown the people in Chicago are the biggest consumers of caffeine in the United States. We're #1, we're #1, we're #1!

From Reuters via Yahoo:

The windy city is also the most wired, according to a survey that showed people in Chicago are the most caffeinated in the United States.

Chicagoans eat more chocolate and drink more cola than other U.S. urbanites, and are among the top consumers of energy drinks and coffee.

They are also likely to say caffeine is good for you, according to the poll conducted by Prince Market Research.

Tampa, Miami, Phoenix and Atlanta rounded out the top five most caffeinated cities, while residents of San Francisco, Philadelphia, New York, Detroit and Baltimore consumed the least caffeine.

Seattle took the top spot in just caffeinated coffee consumption. Nearly 60 percent of residents in the city said coffee would be the most difficult caffeine product to give up.

Half of all the people questioned in the poll said they drank coffee every day, followed by 21 percent who drank caffeinated cola.

I personally don't drink any soda what so ever. However I do enjoy strong cofee. I know all caffeine
drinks were considered, but it's no wonder why there is a Starbucks on every corner and in every building in the Loop area.
