Default some drugs

affect taste. Some cause taste perversion themselves, and others
deplete zinc...when zinc gets low, taste goes out the window.

Coffee--good or bad? The studies go back and forth on this. The latest pro coffee one was that it prevents type II diabetes perhaps.

I know for me...caffeine is very problematic...as I age I get more sensitive to it.
So I have to watch it carefully.
However, people with ADHD type brains...seem to be able to consume coffee and caffeine in huge amounts, even before bedtime. This is definitely a
neuro difference. So making generalizations, on coffee, just won't work for everyone. My MIL can drink Expresso and go right to bed! I'd be up for 2 days! I'd like to see studies eventually on low-arousal vs high arousal types, and caffeine. Maybe someday we will.
