Interesting you lumped them together: To my knowledge, alcohol and caffeine consumption are quite different in their effects wrt long-term and moderate usage.

There's a substantial amount of evidence suggesting that even moderate alcohol use can be harmful (though this can sometimes conflict with other studies).
On the other hand, I'm not aware of any research indicating long-term negative impacts from moderate caffeine intake (~200 mg a day or so).

- kayodelycaon 3y agoI should have been more clear. I developed issues with both later in life and I was diagnosed bipolar type 1 about 6 months later. A cup of regular coffee will trigger hours of severe anxiety and paranoia if it doesn’t trigger a full-blown manic episode. Decaf anything still contains enough caffeine to be a problem. I’m similarly affected by alcohol, except I’m depressed instead of manic.
