Well...Excedrin stacks Aspirin and Caffeine too. I'd always thought the caffeine was because caffeine withdrawal can cause headaches.

I think caffeine also supresses certain kinds of headaches on its own, without the addiction. I had headaches before starting my caffeine habit and I also had them like half a year into quitting caffeine completely, and IME the caffeine definitely helps with them even when I wasn't years into a habit of drinking several cups of coffee every day.
