You may not want your male colleagues to have coffee during an important meeting.
While drinking coffee improves women’s brainpower in stressful situations, it impairs men’s memories and slows their decision-making.
Men who had regular coffee took 20 seconds longer to complete puzzles than those who had decaffeinated coffee.
Women completed the same puzzles 100 seconds faster than if they had caffeine.
The study is in the journal of Applied Social Psychology.
