The song "40 Cups of Coffee" by Ella Mae Morse is about a woman worried about her lover who has yet to return. In the meantime, she consumes 40 cups of coffee to stay up and wait.

If coffee were whiskey she could drink any dockworker under the table with the greatest of ease

Kirk's look alone does say plenty, but putting this together reminded me of Peter Griffin saying "How do you turn a phrase" followed by Lois saying that last line.
