Genetically there are three speeds to processing/eliminating caffeine from the bodyFast - body clears it in 45 minutes. These people can drink coffee before bed
Med - body clears it in 4 hours. Don't have coffee after dinner. Most people are this - call it "normal"
Slow - body clears it in 14-16 hours. Don't even botherI got the slow gene, so I just don't bother.
My heartfelt condolences. But there is good news. While caffeine metabolism is about 80% genetic, the target enzymes are the cytochrome p450 system in the liver. So even if you have poor natural clearance, you can increase the p450 system by taking up cigarette smoking. o_O
