Some of the greatest memories that my dad and I have shared have been focused around a drink. Sure, we have toasted occasions with a beer and a glass of wine, but the beverage that always brings us together is coffee.
That liquid love began for us when I was little and we would drive to the doughnut store on Saturday mornings for my dad's cup of coffee and newspaper. As I grew up, our caffeine craze became two sided, allowing us to bond over morning beverages in an event we called our "coffee date."
Now, as I sit here sipping my PSL, I can't help but think of my dad, but apparently I should be thanking him too?! According to a recent report, "six new genes were found that determine how humans react to caffeine. The study provides insight on why some people feel happy and energized after drinking a venti latte, while others feel nauseous after their first cup of joe."
Although this study does not focus on a love or lust for lattes, it does reveal why both my dad and I are much more smiley after our first sip!
