Abstract
The consumption of caffeine to stay awake and alert is a common practice. It is so common that caffeine has become the most widely used psychoactive drug. There are several different methods by which people consume caffeine, some of which include coffee, energy drinks, pre-workout, and tea. Coffee is the second most popular drink around the world, with 1.6 billion cups of coffee consumed every day. College students consume high amounts of caffeine to fuel late-night study sessions, but does it help? Studies have shown that academic performance has an inverse relationship to the amount of caffeine consumed. Drinking high amounts of caffeine can not only negatively affect a college student’s academic success but can cause adverse health effects as well.
