I don't have a source for this, but I've heard that coffee legitimately does affect some people differently. Because some people have a gene for an enzyme that metabolizes caffeine very effectively, and others don't. Which, that may not even be true. In which case, I don't mind. It was all by way of illustrating, be careful trying to extrapolate from a sample size of 1. In fact, just don't do it. Conversely, don't assume an aggregate statistic accurately describes anybody in particular.

Would love to read a bit more on that. If anyone has a good source on variation of caffeine susceptibility, I'd be grateful! And the point on being careful extrapolating makes sense. I will work on that.
