Typically it doesn’t bother me. I’ve often said my biggest risk from drinking coffee in the evening is falling asleep with a cup in my hand and scalding myself. OTOH it will wake me up overnight as I will have to get up to pee during the night more often!
(THIS is also why I have to watch my watermelon intake late at night).
It’s herbal tea only for me after noon.
Some days is herbal tea only all day. I try not to consume caffeine every day but I do have some really good black teas.
My Swiss BIL has been drinking a cup of strong coffee with a shot of Schnapps before bed since he was an early teen. Once, my sister (secretly) tried to wean him of the caffeine by substituting decaf for his bedtime cup. She had to stop when he started getting terrible headaches.
Me? I don’t drink caffeine after noon.

The older one gets, the more one realizes caffeine (awesome or not) needs to be cut off earlier and earlier in the day.

there is actually a metabolic basis for whether or not this is true.
I read an article years ago about the genes that metabolize caffeine and like all of them, there are variations.
I have theorized I am a rapid caffeine metabolizer because I like having a cup of coffee before bed.
There is also a bit of research on half-life of caffeine and the concepts of coffee naps
Some days I can polish off a pot of coffee and immediately need a nap. And yeah, I know.
I don’t see a reason to cut it off. I can fall asleep while drinking caffeine containing beverages.
brewing a whole pot of coffee in the morning gives you iced coffee all day!

My wife is not allowed to have tea or coffee after noon. Heh
I grew up with Pepsi as a food group so I can have a cup of coffee and go right to bed. 
I usually try to avoid caffeine after around 3 PM, but it’s not a hard and fast rule.
