Day 8: A Bad Habit

I bypassed Day 7, as the challenge assignment was fruit, and I just didn't get the chance to do that yesterday.  Day 8's challenge is a bad habit.
However, I do not think it is fair to call my coffee issues a bad habit.  According to many reliable sources on the internet, coffee can:
1. Lower my risk of depression
2.  Lower my risk for Alzheimer's Disease
3.  Protect me from Type 2 Diabetes
4.  Decrease my risk of Parkinson's

And, a May 2012 study by the New England Journal of Medicine found that, during the course of their study, coffee drinkers "who drank at least two or three cups a day were about 10 percent or 15 percent less likely to die for any reason during the 13 years of the study.

In celebration of my bad habit, I bought a carousel for my Keurig today.
