There are conflicting issues though. There are studies (that I read years ago, and have no link to) that show that consistency is better… that consistent low-level caffeine drinkers are more alert than their non-caffeine colleagues, but less jittery than high-caffeine people (optimum seemed to be 2-3 cups per day). Associated with that would be method of consumption: concentrated does (espresso) v. sipping american coffee over an afternoon.
Using is in a “targeted” manner might fail you:
If you are not particularly used to the effects and suddenly drink coffee for short term memory reasons, you might not get the desired result because you’d be too “hepped-up” (to use the technical term...ha!). If you ARE used to drinking coffee, and suddenly avoid it for long term learning reasons, you might be either sleepy or hit withdrawal.
The sensitivity to irregular caffeine users is just due to lack of tolerance. It can still be avoided by just reducing the dosage compared to regular caffeine users.
