Expecting coffee with dessert is annoying and passé

Exactly! OP-horrors! I am a boomer and have never had coffee in my entire life nor alcohol. But, if someone enjoys drinking coffee, alcohol, whatever, why do you want to dictate their choices and police them.? You sound insanely rigid. Why not life and let live? Do you have some sort of anxiety disorder or something?

How have you never had coffee or alcohol? What is the reason for avoiding both?

You’re a rude host. We get it.

(not old, don’t drink coffee with dessert, so don’t bother being predictable)

Doesn't a coffee so late hurt your sleep or ability to get to sleep?

I thought coffee after dinner was to give you a boost before going out on the town. To see a show or go boozing. If it's just a normal family dinner and you're just headed home right after, why do you want the caffeine boost?

it's a boost before driving home. no, it doesn't interrupt.

You regularly go to dinners an hour plus car ride from home?

Caffeine doesn't negatively affect all people's sleep. When I drink coffee with dessert, it is to cut the sweetness. It is also a pleasant flavor complement.

Certainly impacts most people’s sleep.

They might be Mormon or just found the smell unappetizing.

Has anyone mentioned what drinks they do serve with dessert, if not coffee and tea?

My dh has to drink milk with dessert. I think it's childish, but he likes what he likes.

People with ADHD can drink a lot of caffeine and still sleep ten hours. Uppers and accelerants are relaxing for the ADHD brain. Never introduce them to cocaine.

OMG. I love that scene. I am right there with you, Mrs. C. (But would never say it that way.) Would it kill them to put out a pound cake?
