Actually the caffeine in coffee keeps you from dying from cold induced
shock. And it's obvious it works.  Now, when was the last time you heard
of a coffee drinker dying from a cold, particularly while drinking a
cup of caffinated coffee? (VBG)  Now, I'm not at all sure de-caf would
work as well.  It is just possible that someone *has* died while
drinking a cup of decaffinated coffee. (g)
