Caffeine is the most efficient one, and coffee is the richest source.
Smoking in coffee drinkers enhances dopaminergic effects of caffeine and its protective effects on the CNS; in its turn, coffee drinking in smokers provides efficient protection against lung damage. (Source of info: Bennett Allan Weinberg and Bonnie K. Bealer, "The World of Caffeine," with 35 pages of scientific references at the end).
The following proclamation was issued by the German emperor on
September 13, 1777:
"It is disgusting to notice the increase in the quantity of coffee used by my subjects, and the amount of money that goes out of the country in consequence. Everybody is using coffee. If possible, this must be prevented. My people must drink beer. His Majesty was brought up on beer, and so were his ancestors, and his officers. Many battles have been fought and won by soldiers nourished on beer; and the King does not believe that coffee-drinking soldiers can be depended upon to endure hardship or to beat his enemies in case of the occurrence of another war."
