Maybe medically fine, but that doesn’t mean it is ideal. And how fine it is varies (drastically, I think) from person to person. I know caffeine is horrible for me, even 150 mg/day - it disrupts my sleep, clouds my thinking, and makes me more irritable (not helpful as a trial attorney). I started drinking it late in life (32 then, 38 now) and every time I quit I feel infinitely healthier. I am 5 days in to (hopefully) quitting caffeine forever. For me, it is a drug worse than alcohol. I have a feeling a lot of people are in this boat and just don’t realize it because they have been consuming caffeine beverages for so long.
