<p>2.Caffeine can keep you awake however if you build up a tolerance to it the effect may well in fact lessen. <a href="http://www.livestrong.com/article/521380-how-many-hours-does-caffeine-keep-you-awake/" rel="nofollow">http://www.livestrong.com/article/521380-how-many-hours-does-caffeine-keep-you-awake/</a></p>

<p>3.Many substances stain teeth including coffee although every one's degree is different. One tip I have is to drink your coffee through a straw as it lessens the amount of contact of coffee to your teeth.  Just be careful not to burn your tongue.</p>

I believe this is more of a topic for discussion rather than a question that has a correct answer, but nonetheless, I've taken a stab at it.
