So, hypothetically speaking, you're for restricting performance-enhancing drugs, including caffeine... And as an example to support your point, you mention a quantity of caffeine that few humans would drink and that also has a decent chance of having a negative effect on poker performance unless someone has built up a fantastic tolerance to caffeine--and if someone had, why would it be fair to not allow them to imbibe enough caffeine to see its positive effects.

I suppose it would be there to prevent players from taking caffeine pills (which are way, way more effective at caffinating oneself than coffee). Either way, I don't think it's that necessary.
