Nevermind.
You're 16 years old and will just go to bed tonight instead. Us old folk, on the other hand, would need to mainline caffeine all day and we'd feel out of sorts for a week afterwards. :(

You'll drink more when you're old and decrepit.

Sir, I believe you cut the mustard.

Depends on how small you want your mustard, I suppose.
