Some of the negative effects of caffeine include heartburn, nausea, and diarrhea. So, this March, drink coffee responsibly.

National Coffee Month – August

August may be a month with no specific national coffee days, but that’s only because there’s no need for them – it’s National Coffee Month! National Coffee Month can obviously be celebrated in numerous ways, but we’ll throw you a little challenge: try to have a different cup of coffee every day!
