Sobering Truth About Coffee
HAD a heavy night at the office Christmas bash? Then do not reach for the coffee.
Scientists say coffee will not only fail to sober you up, but instead may make it harder for people to realise they are drunk, according to new research.
Thomas Gould, of Temple University, Philadelphia, said: "The myth about coffees sobering powers is particularly important to debunk because the co-use of caffeine and alcohol could actually lead to poor decisions."
In laboratory tests, caffeine made mice more alert but did not reverse the learning problems caused by alcohol, including their ability to avoid things they should have known could hurt them.
