Caffeine "Sanity" Check!

I should keep my sanity level on check..No excess cup of coffee anymore! Or else..

@cups_of_coffee = 0

def drink_coffee(&block)
  @cups_of_coffee += 1

  yield(@cups_of_coffee) if block_given?
end

def caffeine_sanity_check(cups_of_coffee)
  case cups_of_coffee
    when 0
      warn "Low"
    when 1
      puts "Sane.."
    else
      raise CaffeineExcessException, "You'll probably go crazy in 1..2..3.."
  end
end

class CaffeineExcessException < Exception
  def initialize(message)
    @message = message
  end

  def to_s
    "Fatal: Possible insanity ahead! #@message"
  end
end

drink_coffee { |cof| caffeine_sanity_check(cof) }        # first call

=> Sane..

drink_coffee { |cof| caffeine_sanity_check(cof) }        # second and successive calls

=> CaffeineExcessException: Fatal: Possible insanity ahead! You'll probably go crazy in 1..2..3..

P.S. I'm insane today..

...you are not that sense of inadequacy that wants you to quit or give up on your life's dreams.
