Grand Theft Beverage: Vice City

Coffee and Alcohol--
They both taste wretched, which is why we try to cover up the taste.
If alcohol and coffee actually tasted good, we wouldn't spend so much money paying frustrated actors wearing green baseball caps and false smiles to add cinnamon, caramel and chocolate syrup to our java and paying frustrated musicians wearing tight shirts and body piercings to add soda, orange juice, cherries, and tiny umbrellas to our booze.

But both are viewed as medicinal, hence the soaring price tags not deterring the soaring sales.
$12 for a Strawberry Daiquiri?
"What a day! I NEED a drink."
$5.45 for a Grande, No Whip, Caramel Macchiato?
"Oh, I NEED my coffee. I'm dead without it."

And both beverages force you visit the bathroom not long afterwards. Open up your mind instead of your wallet... and an extra bodily orifice.
Just because you're bending over the toilet doesn't mean you have to take it up the ass.
