For most, coffee has been like the to go beverages for long-distance drivers' to make them alert and stay awake what might time is, if it is early morning or late night. Coffee is seen by many as a temporary boost and has a similar effect as Redbull that provides energy to physical body and mental state. An energy crash in caffeine related accidents occur when the caffeine has worked through their body and making those who have drank worse off and may render then significantly vulnerable to crashing.
