For me, coffee is undoubtedly a general upper.
If I'm tired, give me a coffee.
If I'm down and sad, give me a coffee and I'll cheer up a little and I'll cheer up even more if you give it to me with a piece of chocolate LOL
If I'm in a bad mood, give me a coffee to put a smile on my face :) And if I'm in a good mood, give me a coffee too hehe
If I need to solve an issue, give me a coffee to think better
A sedative? no. Not at all!
But there are those who say that can't sleep if they drink coffee at night or in the afternoon. I can drink coffee at any time. In fact, I'm having one right now, before going to bed and I still will sleep like a baby.
Aphrodisiac? I never thought of it that way, but a coffee and a good conversation with the right person can set the mood for something more like I read in one of the comments, hehe.
Cheers! ☕️
