Yvain says in his posts' comments that coffee doesn't work, as tolerance builds up. This seems disputed.

But why not ban coffee? Because, like alcohol, it's now too ingrained in our culture. But if it wasn't - preventing headaches, irritability, concentration troubles, and the expectation that everyone can pull all-nighters? Fuck yes.
