If people couldn't find alternatives and caffeine wasn't illegally available...
Many people who need coffee to function in the morning would lose their shit. Overworked people and workers with really long shifts will not be able to keep up. People would probably fall asleep at work.
This made me realize people would probably fall asleep while driving and cause unusably congested highways all across the country, potentially causing supplies shortages.
