Abstract

A study of 376 young British adults showed that estimated daily caffeine consumption increased with age, and was associated with smoking and greater alcohol consumption. Non-consumers of caffeine avoided tea and coffee (even the de-caffeinated form). Level of caffeine consumption was not associated with impulsivity, sociability, extraversion or trait anxiety.
