It gets better.  78% of respondents said they would rather give up alcohol, social media, and sex for a year rather than give up coffee for the same amount of time.The French-based hotel chain interviewed frequent travelers from six countries, including the US and China.This is one of those great coffee stories that I'm biting my tongue from commenting on :).  When I studied first-year Psychology in college, I first learned about Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.  At the base are the Physiological needs, or the ones like food and water that we need to stay alive.  Maslow also included sex in this category.  Higher up the list are Love/Belonging needs, and sex is repeated here as Sexual Intimacy.I'm not sure where I'm going with all this, except to say that if the French hotel chain's research holds any merit, then coffee has officially found its place into the Hierarchy of Needs, sharing the space of most important needs along with breathing, food, and water.  Followed by sex.Learn more about the news here.
