Hi Fee,

Recreational drugs and alcohol are classed as intoxicants in the 5 precepts.

I dont think anything else is - but if people are caffeine-sensitive and get jittery or hyperactive with coffee or coke/fizzy drinks with added caffeine, then they should be avoided.

I always have a cup of Italian filter coffee when I get up in the mornings myself, because I enjoy coffee at the start of the day. I drink tea or water during the remainder of the day.
