Amen to that brother. So I see you've been infected by that PC crap across the pond also.

I dont want to go off on one but Its got ridiculous over here, everyone is offended by something.
I weep for my kids.
people will continue to get worse as we are not allowed to correct any one. It's offensive (or racist) to point out faults even if they are meant to make a person better.
Many a year ago my younger brother was a plant manager for McGregor (large local company who provides services and products to farmers).
Anyway my brother was having stomach problems and other ills so he finally went to a Dr and the Doc sat down with a form and started asking him questions such as what do you eat, how much sleep etc.
When the Dr came to the question of; "How much coffee do you you drink" my brother replied; "Well three or four pots a day". The Dr laughed and said; "You mean cups don't you"? To which my brother replied; "No, pots" to which the Dr said; I think we're onto something here.
Our mother would wake up at 2-3 AM and couldn't get back to sleep. She'd warm up and drink some leftover coffee and have a cigarette and then go back to bed and sleep.
I'm on the opposite end as if I have coffee it's one, maybe two cups in the morning and I'm done for the day!
I hope all will enjoy:

Moving into my new building, I'm right beside our work-break room. We all made sure to get the coffee pot, Keurig and all accessories set up and ready last week. No coffee no teachee!
I'm wired backward also. I can drink a whole pot of coffee and go to sleep. In fact if I drink too much it will put me to sleep. I drink about a quart in the morning and I would drink more but a couple of years ago I got renal cell carcinoma. Pissed out a bunch of blood one day and subsequently found out I had a mass the size of a racket ball on my kidney. A week later I had surgery and had my left kidney removed. They didn't tell me not to drink it or too much even but I just try to be more moderate all the way around since then.
Paul-It sounds like you've recovered from your kidney scare. If you have the sense of humor I think you do, this early scene from the same movie might apply:

"My name is Gunnery Sgt. Highway, and I've drank more beer, pissed more blood, and....[etc.]"
Niet zeuren voor de koffie = don't nag me before coffee time,
Interesting things. People with ADHD are often given caffeine to calm them down. I don’t drink a lot of coffee but will occasionally have one to help me get back to sleep.
PS
I do drink coffee almost every morning but not much outside of one or two in the morning
