Just another data point, but for me it's the opposite. I drink mate every morning becasue its effect is softer than that of coffee.

I only drink coffee when I need extra alertness.

Meditation can also increase your hability to be alert without resorting to drinks.

OP is on about Club Mate. A soda drink with mate.

Its not very good for the teeth, like other soda drinks (the acid, Co2, and sugar). Furthermore, tea is bad for keeping your teeth white. But other than the latter, normal yerba mate doesn't suffer from the other downsides soda has. Normal yerba mate doesn't contain acid, Co2, and sugar.
