Caffeine must be one of, if not the, most used drug. It is vital to the operation of more or less every industry.

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.
