Now, that it’s not 2am and because I can

I imagine that Ford would drink coffee throughout his life rather consistently, excluding the 30 year portal escapade. Casually drinking it most times, but during finals at college and his paranoia stage – it’s just through the ROOF how much he drinks.

Then for tea, he just… started drinking it casually at some point during college. Then after Bill he drank it even more than coffee honestly – and then after the reveal Ford just.

stopped drinking tea

entirely

I just think it’s something that Ford would have associated with Bill SO HARD. Like sure he had tea before he met Bill, but it was while he knew Bill that he actually drank it often and had different flavors. 

Of course he dumps it out, but even after 30 years he can still remember how several different teas tasted in the mindscape.
