How much caffeine is in your drink?

I believe that a big part of how you feel after consuming something is psychological. If someone gives us a mysterious drink and says it's loaded with caffeine, we'll probably agree with them and tell them we feel it, even if it's decaf. Some people feel Red Bull keeps them awake better than coffee, some people have told me they drink tea and go straight to sleep (believing it doesn't have much caffeine). I wonder if that would change if you knew exactly how much caffeine is in your beverage.


Being a critical thinker, I have to question what they mean by "a cup". I'd probably use it in relative terms, for example "100 ml of coca cola has twice as much caffeine as 100 ml of green tea."
