Coffee for younger people has been a trend for a long time. My DD
started going to coffee shops and drinking lattes (one) after school
when she was in Jr. High. It's not like she OD'ed on them, because
they aren't cheap. It's also possible to order decaffeinated coffee
everywhere. I've even ordered Irish coffee with decaf - because I
didn't want to be wide awake when I wanted to sleep.
