Reports today are headlined "coffee makes you happy" and the like.
And there is a report in Science that studies people and their mood once they have a coffee -- but read the details.
It's not the coffee but the warmth that cheers folks up.
"Physical warmth can make us see others as warmer people, but also cause us to be warmer -- more generous and trusting -- as well," said John Bargh, a professor of psychology at Yale University in Connecticut, whose research appears in the journal Science.
So coffee is good but so is tea, hot chocolate or anything warming.

True. Also being with someone we care about can do the same.
Dear James,
That's why my kids like me to make them a nice cup of tea over a cold drink - we're bonding!
