Day In, Day Out

In many aspects of a person's life, they turn to coffee for support, such as in the morning. Does this directly correlate to the phrase "day in, day out"? According to This is Water by David Foster Wallace, those who are older often live in a cycle of the same day repeating, thus he had repeated the phrase "day in, day out" in his piece. Now to tie this back into coffee: I, personally, think of coffee as a way for people to regain purpose at an ungodly hour, most commonly experienced before people head off to work.

Although I am not including myself in the group of older, working individuals, I would like to add in my own two cents: before school, I don't find it hard at all to resist drinking coffee. That is also because I don't enjoy going through the entire effort of making coffee at 6 AM. Due to that regard, I can respect coffee-drinking individuals for going through the process everyday.

According to Justin Jones Li of Medium, avoiding coffee throughout an entire day is completely doable (found here). His process includes getting a full night's sleep, writing things down, learning his own limits, and not submitting to caffeine's power. These are all valid ways to keep yourself from developing a coffee addiction, but humans are unique creatures; not everyone is going to find these tips helpful, thus drinking coffee in the morning can be attributed to Wallace's "day in, day out."
