Shouldn't people who don't like coffee, just not drink coffee?

The article makes it seem like caffeine is an essential nutrient. Is this kid just addicted?

I drink an espresso or two each morning. I find drip coffee... uninteresting. If I travel, or am in any situation where I don't have easy access to espresso, I just don't drink coffee. It's not a big deal.

I do agree with the aversion to sodas... In addition to the sugar, they're packed full of other wonky ingredients.
