I don’t really have time to write more about this but here are a couple links about an interesting new study out of the University of Bristol saying that drinking caffeine might not actually make you more alert, it might just temporarily cure your caffeine withdrawal:

• Caffeine – Neurologica Blog
• Controversy over caffeine – PsychCentral
• Coffee consumption unrelated to alertness – University of Bristol
