I don't really drink coffee at night. But that last sentence is such a bullshit excuse. By that logic, bars shouldn't serve alcohol at any time. A person may be counting on the caffeine boost for a long drive home. So, by making the decision for the people who can't have caffeine, you also made the decision for the people who should have it.

It's not an excuse. We're lazy, we decided to only have one, we picked the one least likely to be an issue. You didn't think all these industry secrets would be positives, did you?

Come to think of it, you're right. Fair point.
