"You need to do something about your drinking problem."

That's what my wife said to me today. She was dead serious, too. She's concerned about my heart because I sometimes take in almost 300mg caffeine per day.

"You need to cut back to three times a day."

I gave her a crazy look. What was she thinking? At worst I have a Starbucks drink in the morning and a diet coke during lunchtime. (OK, maybe one more coffee at night.) That's a max of three times a day.

She meant, "three coffees a week."

Does this technique involve removing the caffeine?

+Elliott Noel Oh, it's no koan. The answer is: "No. Why would you think the other state is any more desirable? Life is too short to worry about its infinite imperfections, I will embrace and drink my caffeinated Irish coffee at night and die contentedly."

I was wondering more about how you manage to sleep after drinking coffee at night. :)

+Elliott Noel I'm awesome at sleeping. No joke, super awesome, even. I'm constantly challenging my family, just to keep them in their place. I've never been beaten. (So far. The kids are on the rise and will be teenagers, and it is known that old people have diminished sleep abilities. Things may change.)

There's no harm to caffeine! Not bad for you at all.
