Caffeine, widely held to make people more alert, can make the mind go blank or struggle to switch between trains of thought. Effectively counteracted with nicotine.

Well, isn't it about time we put caffeine in Schedule I, then? Obviously, it's just as dangerous as cocaine...

"Nonsense. I drink lots of coffee, and I've never had this trouble.

Like many other things, it must depend on the blend.
I personally prefer Irish coffee: it sustains, supports and fortifies.

LOL. I drink a whole pot of coffee every day. I drink a whole pot of coffee every day too. And, I was going to post a very cutting rejoinder, but I forgot what the question was.
Actually, these comments have been among the funniest I have seen here in months.
Good post!

Ahhhhh, I see you've reached the same conclusion. It's all about having the different chemicals fight it out while you leech on the energy. Now if you'll excuse me I have to get back to my invention. I'm making a coffee flavored caffeinated cigarette. I was tired of the inefficient old way with the cups and pouring and the measuring and all.

Get yourself a large coffee cup, it fits fine. Don't settle for those whimmpy cups.
To: blam
Well! THAT'S why everybody has to fill in words to my sentences all the time! It's from that - uh - you know - that stuff I drink too much of! Darn! Now why can't I think of that word?! Oh yeah - COFFEE!!

Drinking coffee can cause tip-of-the-tongue moments
That's why this place is such a hoot at 5am PDT...I don't even THINK about posting then.

Oh so coffee makes so focused on one subject you have a momentary lapse changing subjects.
there was something else but I am too focused.
To: blam
All this time I thought it was "mental pause" for me, but for someone who drinks coffee all day, I guess I just.....

Darn thong has a big hole right in the middle of it....... Then I'd say you're making your coffee wayyyy too strong.
To: blam
"I drink a whole pot of coffee every day."
I drink 12 -16 ounces before work and then about 96 ounces at work. Some times I have a cup before I go to bed.
I'm sure I have a toxic caffiene level but I bet a transfusion from me would wake the near dead. Internal defribrillation.
