yes, caffeine is a drug.......it's a stimulate. It's used obviously in the foods/drinks, like coffee, but also for pharmacologic preparations such as Excedrin and anesthetics such as lidocaine.

Yes,It is .And I'll be the first to say I'm a Caffeine junkie.I almost go into a kind of withdraws without it.I get up in the morning drink a pot of fresh ground super strong coffee
then grab a quadshot of esspreso with cream for my drive to work followed by two more before noon.then at least 2 /16 oz .iced white chocolate mochas with 6 shots of esspreso in each in the afternoon.my cafeine habit got so expensive i bought my own esspreso machine.
In case you were wondering ,I don't sleep well either.I don't think cafeine is very bad for you .If it were ,I'd be dead.

anything that is even close to being fun is a drug. its the low end of the amphetamine spectrum, but yeah, it is. you will notice that caffeine is in most soft drinks also. in females the side effects are the hint of a moustache as you get older. watch it.
