I say this as a long term caffeine for the rest of my life addict. Coffee + sugar is a wildly different effect than just coffee. I avoid sugar completely during my coffee hours.

Hi. What's the different effect? I've never considered that before.

Coffein simply blocks the receptors in your body that send the signals to your brain that you are tired, while sugar is essentially pure energy. I'm no expert on this subject, but afaik both coffein and sugar increases blood pressure, which is probably not an ideal thing.
