I found the study on combining alcohol and caffeine relating to whether or not a person believes in the effects of mixing them to be quite interesting. I thought the study covered a different perspective than solely focusing on the body's physical reactions. I liked the way the procedure was set up to cover people who either were or were not told to believe that caffeine would greater increase their impairment and by also adding in a placebo caffeine factor. The procedure covered all possibilities to ensure the best results.
My opinion on the topic of how influential our minds and our beliefs can be is parallel to the study's hypothesis. I believe that once the mind has a certain belief it can make the body act in indescribable ways in which we are unaware. For the participants who were told that alcohol mixed with caffeine has greater impairing effects, the results proved that these participants were more impaired, even if they were given the placebo caffeine. This is an example of how powerful the mind can be.

I agree with you on this too. I am fascinated by the way the mind seems to have so much power over the body and this article is just more proof of just that!

Many people are so set in their ways that they sometimes tend to overlook the truth. Mind over matter. Enough said.
