Oh okay, perhaps I'm wrong then, and maybe it's the work environment that is the problem and not the number of frequent coffee drinkers that are dramatic.
Coffee? You would also have to ban monster, red bull, every other energy drink ever existed, sugary drinks, caffeine pills, supplements, candy, and anything that can be found in a supplements shop.
So no, we should not ban coffee from the workplace.
This does not even rise to the standard of a "great debate." People are actually more dramatic and rude if they DON'T have their coffee.
I think that if there were a situation where a vote were taken, they'd rather get rid of you than get rid of coffee.
I've certainly seen "dramatic" people, but I think it's their basic personality, not something that magically appears with their morning coffee. I have no idea of what your workplace may be like, but my jobs have all been office jobs where people routinely have coffee, tea, and caffeinated sodas at their desk.
By the way, most bosses don't want relaxed workers. They want energized workers.

Banning caffeine in the workplace is a really bad idea. CEOs and managers also love their coffee.
Ok, you seriously are asking if coffee or cola should be banned in the workplace? No, but drinking anything around computers or other machinery is commonly banned in many workplaces.
Morning coffee is a nice thing for a company to make employees feel valued, but drinking free coffee all day is not healthy or necessary. If someone is abusing the coffee, they probably have other issues that need to be dealt with.
From my own experience, I know that caffeine can exacerbate anxiety, which can lead to "dramatic" behavior. I no longer drink coffee at work, only tea (which has less than half the caffeine of coffee). But of course tons of people do drink coffee every day with no ill effects.
