According to the research the finding on coffee consumption was independent of age. The age range of the men was 22-80 I believe.

The genetic damage may show up later as cancer, lower IQ, diabetes 1, Alzheimer's etc.

You failed to show a link to this DNA damage increasing the risk of diabetes, alzheimers, etc. But I wouldn't be surprized if it's true.
I think older men who want to father children should be extra careful to not do things which increase risk factors further than the age itself. That includes tobacco, caffiene (Red Bull) and, I bet, drugs.
While the age range was 22 - 80, the mean age (like an avg) was 46.4 years.

yes, but you forgot to mention that the study was done on older men, not young men. Just like women over the age of 35 have a greater risk of having birth defects when having children. The same goes for men whose bodies are older and the sperm has a higher chance of having problems.

It depends because .... think of all the individuals who consume coffee (or lots of caffeine) and concieved children who turned out perfectly normal. Sometimes you just got to live your life!
