As a staple in our daily lives, coffee is most people’s primary source of caffeine. Coffee and caffeine have poured themselves so thoroughly into our routine that it’s easy to forget that it serves as a drug first and foremost. With 90% of Americans consuming some kind of caffeine on a daily basis, it is the world’s most commonly used drug.
