Sheesha=Booze

Sheehsa is like alcohol.

                                     When you're smoking sheesha, a few deep inhalations of smoke can give you the same feeling of extreme drunkenness.
                                             Albeit, that feeling of drunkenness doesn't last nearly as long; it wears off within just a few minutes (or with a few deep breaths of fresh air), but the feeling and the numbness is exactly the same: you can't focus on anything.

So, if you start to look at all the men smoking sheesha here all the time, and in your mind, you replace the sheesha with pints of beer, then you'll see thing differently.

Perched Ahuagi from the coffee house close to my place. Mona Lisa-like smile on him.

Also, Here's a really good article about the history of Coffee in the Arab world. Really, it's a great article.
