For most people caffeine is safe. It is unlikely that caffeine in coffee, cola soft drinks or tea poses a serious health hazard for the majority of people who consume these beverages in moderation. A number of studies have associated caffeine consumption with a variety of conditions including peptic ulcers, heartburn, heart disease, cancer, fibrocystic breast disease, birth defects and central nervous system disorders. Many of these studies were flawed, inconclusive, or contradicted by later studies, so that concern about caffeine has lessened. It may be that other substances in these caffeine-containing beverages should be more closely investigated. Nevertheless, caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant and while some people can consume substantial amounts without apparent ill-effects, others can be more sensitive.
Consuming 3 cups per day is considered to be a moderate Coffee drinker.
So, to answer your question, Coffee will not make you stupid and in fact in moderation can be good for some people.

I started to drink coffee when I was young, very young. Always in moderation. I have tested my brains trough life, and I am a very intelligent person. Not great with numbers,(Don't blame the coffee) but excellent memory.
Don't mind some of this answers above. They should not be so rude. Maybe they don't drink coffee.

No, beer, wine or other alchoholic drinks will make you stupid.
Coffee will just wake you up.
Drink 5 cups of coffee, about the same as one Energy Drink.

on the contrary, it makes you more alert. I am a coffee addict who's in Mensa, so I can definitely tell you that's not true.
Or maybe I was just super-uber smart before I started drinking coffee, I don't know/

no but it can make you nervous if you drink to much. it gets you going in the morning with a boost. also it don't sober up a drunk or intoxicated person. it only makes the person a wired up intoxicated person.
