Tea-bag tea first thing in the morning, strong, with milk. Light/medium-roast speciality filter coffee with breakfast, or mid-morning. If I’m having another caffeine drink in the afternoon it would ideally be nice leaf tea, black, green or oolong definitely without milk. But if I’m at work or out and about sometimes just another mug of tea-bag tea.

A lot of old hard rock and metal with power chords is easy to play a simplified version of. I think Metallica - ‘For whom the bell tolls’ and ‘Enter Sandman’ were probably the first things I learnt. You can learn enough to have fun playing a riff like that even if you struggle to get your hand into position to do proper 6-string chords.

A bit of strain hardening might even improve your (?toughness)?
