Grog and Tulip
Coffee could be just as detrimental as 'ale', but without the drunkenness. "Might want to be careful. Too much of a good thing and all that." What did Tulip care if this guy drank himself into a stupor, or a caffeine headache? She didn't even know him. And big as he was, it would take a lot to have even a slight effect on him.
He seemed to be really enjoying the coffee though. Good for him. Tulip barely remembered what it was like to enjoy something so much. She was kind of jealous, truth told.
