Alright. Maybe it’s because I’m tired but I’m out of the loop on this one.

The song "40 Cups of Coffee" by Ella Mae Morse is about a woman worried about her lover who has yet to return. In the meantime, she consumes 40 cups of coffee to stay up and wait.

I fully expected this to be about Janeway, but alas.

If coffee were whiskey she could drink any dockworker under the table with the greatest of ease

Thank you! That is a well done song.

For those wondering, the supposed timeline is a single night. I tend to agree with Spock.

Kirk's look alone does say plenty, but putting this together reminded me of Peter Griffin saying "How do you turn a phrase" followed by Lois saying that last line.
