Same here (almost). Late night in a Hampton Inn lobby in the dead of winter in Kentucky working on a document for Fort Knox due the next morning. Same 24 hr. coffee service available. The Army officer working with me was not LDS. However, he strongly suggested that the next few hours would be a lot more productive if we were both properly caffeinated.Doctor CamNC4Me wrote: ↑Mon Jan 24, 2022 1:20 pm

When I hesitated he said to mask the bitter taste with a package of cocoa mix, add sugar and creamer to taste, and I would be fine. I did so, more than once in the next few hours in fact, and felt better when we were finally done at zero dark thirty than when we started.
That said, there are good quality and widely accepted prospective epidemiologic studies showing that study cohorts reporting moderate coffee and or tea consumption have a longer lifespan and better neurological health in later life, as compared to cohorts that do not consume either beverage.
As with several other aspects of LDS doctrine, when it comes to consumption of coffee and tea, restrictions in the WoW work to the detriment of faithful members.
