Michael Pollen wrote a audible book about how modern capitalism wouldn’t have been possible without the invention of the light bulb and the abundance of caffeinated beverages as it facilitated a 24 hour economy. Literally titled Caffeine: How Caffeine Created the Modern World.
So what would happen if the government illegalized caffeine? I’d say they’d be more likely to prohibit literally any other drug including alcohol and tobacco. But if I were to indulge this hypothetical scenario, I’d say other new stimulants without any legal status would be invented to replace caffeine.

I would classify the effects of caffeine as more anti-drowsy than energy-boosting but maybe that is just semantics.
I haven’t had any caffeine in my diet for nearly 2 months now and I feel amazing.
I’m pretty sure you’re right. Without looking it up to correct myself I’m pretty sure caffeine blocks receptors for the tired stuff.
Yes - the tired stuff is a substance called adenosine.
ADHD?
