Recently, a study from La Trobe University in Melbourne showed that five cups of coffee a day is enough to cause auditory hallucinations, so researchers call caffeine the most common psychotropic drug. In the study, 92 volunteers ate too much caffeine, and the researchers played "White noise" for them and told them that part of Crosby's "White Christmas" would be played during the white noise play. if the volunteers hear the song, they can press the button in front of them.

Professor Simon Crowe, one of the researchers, said: "We didn't play White Christmas, but most volunteers who were very nervous or had too much caffeine thought they heard the song. Caffeine and inner tension caused the volunteers to develop some mental conditions. " Simon added that he hopes the findings will draw attention to excessive coffee consumption.
