For many busy students, coffee is an essential part of the routine for staying focused and awake long enough to maintain studies, jobs and family responsibilities. This blogger has a coffee IV drip set up alongside his computer. There is no shortage of coffee purveyors competing for your coffee dollars and they have been “one-upping” each other to be your “cup of choice”. That competition has led to some pretty over the top, unhealthy coffee options. These may be yummy treats once in a while, but if you drank them every day, you’d need to buy bigger pants in short order. Here are the top five most decadent coffee drinks: 1.

Unbelievable! What a kick in the pancreas these drinks are! Half of your day’s worth of calories in a drink? These should come with a warning label.
This cup of coffee looks absolutely delicious, but with a nutritional list as above, it is wisest to consider it as a special treat, and not as a regular cup of coffee.
