Does coffee really stunt your growth?

My brother and I have been drinking it since we were 10, so for about 7 years. I'm 7'1", and he's only 5'6". Our dad is 6'2" and our mom is 5'5", so did it possibly affect him?

*chuckles* Coffee does NOT stunt your growth- thats an old wifes tale. However, coffee may make you sleepy if you're hyper- its called the paradoxital effect. Most kids don't drink coffee- at least in the Seattle, Washington area.
