I feel the same way! I go through phases as well, and the last couple of months I've been drinking coffee almost every day, sometimes more than once a day.
My boyfriend recently emailed me an article that said it's better to drink coffee in small amounts through out the day, rather than one big cup in the morning. Apparently it helps prevent the crash that comes from coffee, and keeps you consistently alert through out the day.
I haven't tried this yet, but it seems to have some merit.
I agree with you that coffee has a certain meaning that makes it more appealing. You like it because it makes you feel adult. I am drawn to it because it makes me feel like an intellectual. I almost always crave coffee when I am studying because it creates that romanticized-intellectual-European-coffeehouse feel. I think that's why it's so hard to give up, because it's not just the caffeine or the taste that I like, it's the perceived culture that goes with it. I'm currently trying to figure out how I can satisfy that "culture" part of me without the coffee. Or if maybe I can separate the two, so that I don't need the coffee to get the same feeling.
