That's not really how it works.

It's not a straight up/down scale, as much as it is they "up" and "down" you in different ways. Which is why there's drinks like Red Bull and Vodka that are basically pushing in both directions at the same time, and wind up giving you a different sensation than either alone. Or for a more extreme example, it's how a speedball works (cocaine as the upper, heroin/morphine/other opioids as the downer).

No it's not exact, but, it's a good rule of thumb and something to remember in asking why one day one beer will just be flavored water you after you eat some pasta and are chill, and another will absolutely hammer you if you've only drank coffee all day.

It's a fair thing to consider.

It was mentioned a lot when 4loko was banned, and I think caffeine effect vs alcohol effect is a good reference point considering they're both legal drugs that people consume a lot of.
