Found myself cutting back, too. I drink beer and usually have 1-2 at a time - any more and the flavors just get muddled. It's water, tea, coffee for me most of the time (added benefit of polyphenols, antioxidants for those brewed drinks). If I drank more, I would be too worried about handicapping my intellect.

I love tea, but because of the caffeine I think of it as a morning/afternoon enjoyment.
It'd be lovely to have more evening refreshments. I have various mixers for seltzer water, which helps. Also just drinking less liquids at night probably helps some with sleeping in general but I really like having something to sip on.
There's always tisanes like rooibos and herbs (mint, etc). I read that with regular consumption of caffeine you don't tend to notice it anymore (sensitivity aside) which has been my experience. It helps my workouts and getting up but I've never felt like I needed it or it keeps me up (still try to not have it past 3 or 4pm). Agree on tapering liquids near bedtime.
I love drinking Rooibos at night as a replacement for tea, highly recommend. Various flavored options available too.
I’ve been making cold brew tea during this summer and sipping on that.
3-4 decaf black tea bags for a body, 2 or so random herbal teas for flavor all tossed in a large tea jug in the fridge overnight.
