I'm familiar with the "slippery slope" argument IamAbstinent refers to. I drink copious amounts of espresso, and I'm sure that in addition to waking me up, the caffeine gives the Beast just a slight little buzz. Not enough to get high, but just enough to tease it, apparently. My addictive voice has tried the "you are hooked on caffeine, so you are an addict, and may as well go all out" argument before. Can't blame a Beast for trying.
