Caffeine opens you up to persuasion?

Ha - the next time you want this salary raise against the objection of your boss, invite your boss to a coffee in the next coffeeshop.

Why?

Because, according to new research published in the New Scientist, that while caffeine can increase your attention, it also opens you up to persuasion against your actual beliefs - if you are not disturbed but focussed during the discussion.

So may be a Starbucks during lunch time is not the best place, but then, a quiet coffee shop next door?
