A "vice"? Why apply moral categories to something as innocuous as coffee?

Because we consider caffeine addiction (and substance dependency in general) to be a negative thing.

Even if you assume addiction (without proof, to be sure), how is it necessary to cast it in moral terms? If it is a negative thing, there have to be rational reasons for it being negative. Being judgmental about it only makes those doing the judging feel better about themselves.
