History of, or current, drug abuse, use of anabolic steroids, alcohol abuse or excessive intake of alcohol, as judged by the Investigator.
-
Excessive caffeine consumption defined by a daily intake of > 5 cups (1 cup = approximately 240 mL) of caffeine containing beverages, as judged by the Investigator.
