Alright. Maybe it’s because I’m tired but I’m out of the loop on this one.

The song "40 Cups of Coffee" by Ella Mae Morse is about a woman worried about her lover who has yet to return. In the meantime, she consumes 40 cups of coffee to stay up and wait.

If coffee were whiskey she could drink any dockworker under the table with the greatest of ease

For those wondering, the supposed timeline is a single night. I tend to agree with Spock.
