Closer to coffee, further from sanity

[danel32]

Dear users, please help with a sentence. I can not understand, what he means with that.

Girl (Lois) moving to live with boy. There are not a relationship, a girl just rents a room from the house. They are not get along with each-other very well.

Boy's friend asks: How goes life living with Lois? Boy answers: Closer to coffee, further from sanity.

That is a fairly strange sentence, danel. Where did you find it?

I suppose it means that the boy drinks coffee more frequently since Lois moved in. Apparently, his life has become crazier since she moved in.
