Your brain produces chemicals which attach to sites on neurons (brain nerves). They are a certain “shape” like plugging a round peg into a round hole. (NOT really but you get the gist).
When a normal person drinks a high caffeine energy drink, all of these round pegs plug into all of the round holes and cause an increase of transmission from one neuron to another.
But it’s not perfect. Sure it fits into the hole, but since it’s artificial, they don’t transmit as efficiently as a natural round peg would.
By placing inefficient round pegs in an a brain that overproduces natural round pegs, it actually slows the transmission of signals down.
