Wine Folly distinguished the difference of how the brain works in coffee, wine, and cannabis towards focus, emotions, awareness, driving, hunger, sex and creativity.
"A coffee drinker will explain the profundity of getting things done," according to the site. People are driven with the effects of caffeine contained in their coffee intake, which helps them get focused. Emotionally, coffee pushes people's rage and nervousness even when happy.
Coffee also makes people alert, aware, and prefer to eat something healthy when hungry. Caffeine also fuels people up for sex.
"A wine drinker will enthuse about the importance of heath and longevity," the site stated. Wine stimulates the hypothalamus, which "controls our "simple" functions like hunger, body temperature, fear, mothering (in women), and the need for sex."
Wine however is not good when a person needs to focus. It also pushes emotions to the extremes, decreases a person's awareness, which makes it dangerous for people to drive drunk.
Wine also triggers creativity and lust.
According to the site, "a cannabis user will extol the benefits of feeling happy on a regular basis." People are "visionaries" and joyful under the influence of weed.
"One of the benefits is that it leaves your reward and motivation system (the nuccleus accumbens) on, so you will feel euphoric and positive," the site stated.
Cannabis, however, slows down work. "THC in cannabis is a chemical that has an effect on all chemical messages (neurotransmitters) sent around in your brain. In short, it slows down your brain's messaging system which has several effects."
Aside from getting used to a slow-paced lifestyle, people "can become paranoid or overeat because THC slows our ability to give good information to the the fear/hunger center in our brain (hypothalamus)."
Weed also increases stimulation during sex.
Effects of coffee can stay up to 6 hours, 36 hours for cannabis, and 1 hour for a glass of wine.
