Anyway, this strategy (coffee after about 2 drinks) I use in the evening when I'm at a blackjack table (or a machine) for several hours, usually where I am staying, no going outside in the heat. But thanks. Hey, I've made it to age 70 (in a few days) so something is going right...LOL. And, bless me, I have never awakened with a hangover. Lucky me!

But then, I like black coffee and it doesn't impair my sleep, fortunately.
Both Alcohol as well as Caffeine are Diuretics and help to cause or at least exacerbate Dehydration which is why neither are supposed to be drunk on very hot days because it can make worse Heat Stroke/Heat Prostration.

I definitely understand the rationale behind this. I put this information here (through your posting) because I realized that some people out there may not have ever known or thought about that (all of the dehydration which is caused by drinking both Alcohol as well as Caffeine). And so when I saw your posting mentioning both of them, this became what I thought was a good occasion to mention this information for the benefit of people out here who might not have known or thought about that.
Being Hydrated as well as well as adequately Vitamined are important for people to keep in mind in order to function well -- especially for people who are dealing with money when they have to be in the position to be thinking clearly (such as when playing Blackjack) so that people can help themselves to not end up doing something (like make bad plays) that could be even more costly.
