Excuse me n00bs (if you don't mind brother).
It gives you a false sense of energy whist simultaneously stimulating your CNS and draining your adrenal glands which in the long run will have you feeling lethargic and in need of caffeine!
The makers of caffeinated products are not as dumb as one thinks but are one of the smartest (and heartless) people on the face of this planet, period

Noobs, I'm really considering going on that diet I showed you just to teach you a lesson...
I hate this forum!
Since coming here I've been told I should cut out all my caffein and booze. Seriously? I don't smoke and I eat a nice balanced diet of whole foods and I work out regularly. Surely that puts me in the top X% of healthy people right? But now I've got to give up my two little vices so I can remain virtuous...
I just had my morning esspresso caffein. I know I'm a complete adict. How do I know? Well, on the way too work and when I first get to my desk I feel like I'm only half awake. I keep rubbing my eyes and bumping into stuff and I desperately need a coffee. And when I do have my coffee, absolute 100% uncontrolled euphoria! I can actually feel it flowing down my throat like nectar then slowly radiating warmth out through my arms to my finger tips. I get this stupid roll-your-eyes kind of smile on my face and actually shudder with the joy of it. Warmth all over and a sense of absolute invincible euphoria. Am I an adict?
Booze is another story, but I'd be heartbroken and depressed if I had to give up my nightly glasses of wine and my weekend beers. Adiction is an ugly thing. I have depression type issues but my caffein and alcohol seem to help...
So, do I really need to cut out my booze and caffein? Not sure I have the willpower... Serious question...
Cheers,
Mike

Actually haz there are alot of studies that showed caffinated uni students had lower test scores during exams especially from the mid point till the end..
Im serious!
Read that book it has all the scientific proof you can ask for double blind placebo studies the works!
Caffeine doesnt help you study it decrease blood flow to the reasoning and problem solving part of the brain,but increases limbic flow.. So it decreases your problem solving ability but increases your survival skills so to speak in a false way... Why? Because of cortisol and adrenaline.. you dont need problem solving abilities/digestion/immune system when you are about to be eaten by a sabertoothed tiger!
The quote was something like "why think about finding lunch and digesting it if you are about to become it."
Seriously read it.. If you dont buy it find it as a pdf somewhere just get the infomaiton into your head so you can make a well infromed decision!
Caffeineis giving you a false sense of ability to study much like it gives the average gym goer a sense of being able to "lift more" in the short term and long run it will hinder your physical and mental performance.
Mike, let's get something very clear here brother; you are not an addict. Caffeine is not an addictive drug but a habit forming drug and there's a huge difference between an addiction and a habit. An addiction can kill you, whilst a habit just annoys the hell out of you Sir.

I took about 10 no-doz for one of my exams at TAFE it was exciting.
Pretty sure iam addicted to caffeine as a pre-workout lol
I'm a fan of being healthy, but for the majority of people on here it seems like their training is for functional and practical fitness, not ultimate gains and competition.
So I think this hard line, zero tolerance approach to caffeine and alcohol is not really relevant.
Moderation is the key and the advice that should be sprouted for the people who fall in this category. Coffee and alcohol are great and can be appreciated, but don't have too many and don't have it too frequently.
