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

I think if you banned coffee, most countries would have legit riots of not revolutions. The people will put up with a lot, but not that.

My first thought reading the question "blood in the streets". Coffee has been around for hundreds of years and is deeply cultural in many parts of the world. I don't see any reality where that could happen.
