Abstract
CAFFEINE is one of the world's most widely-used drugs and coffee drinking is a major form of its use1. The levels of caffeine intake in coffee drinking have significant, predominantly stimulatory, physiological and behavioural effects2. Surprisingly, the role of caffeine in the self-administration of coffee has not yet been studied. This research indicates that coffee drinkers drink more low-caffeine coffee than non-decaffeinated coffee.
