I just gotta say, I have seen people getting "wasted" on caffeine at work at it causes problems to the point that distinguishing caffeine from other drugs seems moot. Why is it ok to have a meltdown from a caffeine overdose but beer is a no-no?
I drink coffee all day and I never get "wasted" on it. The worst thing that can happen is that you get a little jittery, but you are still very functional.

Alcohol impairs both physically and mentally, too much causes accidents and death, and disease. Over use of caffeine makes one a bit hyper but generally improves performance at work. We have about 400 in my office building with free coffee and I have never seen anyone suffer a meltdown from it, or any ill effects. Both the AMA and the FDA consider it safe.

Never in my 40 years of working did I ever once see someone wasted from caffeine. There must be more than coffee in those cups!
