i drink so much coffee its not even funny.  ill go days without water,
with my only liquid intake being coffee and beer.  used to be a complete
snob, but with a mortgage and a kid, i went out a limb one time and bought
Cafe La Llave.  I think its cuban??  Anyway, its super cheap, and pretty
damn good.  About 3 bucks a can at Albertsons (cant find it at Safeway).
Often on sale for 1.99.

my beer snobbery continues full force.  SNPA!!!
