What Time Should You Stop Drinking Arizona Green Tea Before Bed?

Last-call times for Arizona Green Tea computed from its sourced caffeine content and the 5-hour median half-life.

TL;DR

A 16 oz serving of Arizona Green Tea carries 15 mg of caffeine, already under the 50 mg threshold where most people can fall asleep normally, so one serving needs no cutoff time. Multiple servings still stack: the median caffeine half-life is 5 hours.

Arizona Green Tea Last-Call Times by Bedtime

Latest time to finish a 16 oz serving of Arizona Green Tea (15 mg of caffeine) and still be under 50 mg of residual caffeine at bedtime, assuming the median 5-hour half-life. Your personal half-life may sit anywhere in the 2 to 12 hour range.

How the Math Works

With 15 mg per 16 oz serving, a single serving of Arizona Green Tea never crosses the 50 mg threshold where caffeine measurably delays sleep for most people, so there is no last-call time to respect for one serving. That changes when servings stack: caffeine decays exponentially with a median 5-hour half-life, so two or three servings through the afternoon and evening can still leave more than 50 mg in your system at bedtime.

Individual half-lives also run from about 2 to 12 hours depending on CYP1A2 genetics, medications, smoking, and pregnancy. If you are caffeine-sensitive or drinking multiple servings, model your real intake in the caffeine half-life calculator.

Frequently Asked Questions

There is no magic number, but around 50 mg of circulating caffeine the alerting effect fades for most people, which makes it a practical sleep-ready marker (the same one the Unbuzz app and our half-life calculator use). A 16 oz serving of Arizona Green Tea starts at 15 mg, already below that mark, which is why a single serving needs no cutoff time. Caffeine-sensitive sleepers may need to aim lower; the calculator lets you change the threshold.
These times assume the median 5-hour half-life, but CYP1A2 genetics, oral contraceptives, pregnancy, some medications, and age stretch individual half-lives across roughly 2 to 12 hours. Even at a slow 8 to 12 hour half-life, the 15 mg in a 16 oz serving of Arizona Green Tea starts under the 50 mg threshold, but stacked servings linger far longer for slow metabolizers, so spacing matters more. The caffeine half-life calculator adjusts the curve to your profile.
No. Per Caffeine Informer (quoting Arizona official statement), the sugar-free variant has the same caffeine as the regular version, so the cutoff times above apply unchanged. Sugar affects the energy crash, not the caffeine clock.
Standard exponential decay: residual = dose x 0.5^(hours / 5), using the drink's sourced caffeine content (15 mg per 16 oz serving, per Caffeine Informer (quoting Arizona official statement)) and the median 5-hour half-life. The last call is the latest time that leaves under 50 mg at bedtime, rounded down to 15 minutes so the rounding never works against your sleep.
