Can an energy drink

Can an energy drink increase a person's response time? When we explored this question in lab on Wednesday we were able to see the effects of an energy drink in relation to a person's response time.  The end result was that it does make a person's reaction time faster.  This was very fascinating because only 10 minutes after consuming the drink the effects were evident! It was amazing to see that my response time improved a great deal and even though there was some variation in our data, the conclusion was still proven because there was no overlapping between the times before and after consumption.  It makes me wonder what else will improve a person's response time and in comparison to that, what will slow down a person's response time?
