Reply to comment by bajablasteroid in ELI5, when someone is intoxicated, how does adrenaline bring back motor skills and awareness? Or does it not? by LindenSpruce

Do the people for whom this applies also suffer the paradoxical effect of being made sleepy by coffee?

I honestly have no idea. I’m assuming there’s a link there, too. There’s 7 billion different human makeups last I checked so there’s going to be some variety. Coffee definitely makes me sleepy sometimes, too. I’m also one of the unfortunate folks who have a stimulating effect from most alcohol.

Probably not, they work on unrelated areas/receptors.
