Of course..they affect human, why not spiders? The dosage would kill them.

First off how does a spider get alcohol,caffeine and other drugs in their system when spiders only suck out the blood and other bodily fluids of insects,animals and people. If you are asking if they bite some one that has thees in there system would it affect them i would have to say no it would not. They would not ingest enough to do any harm. I hope this helps.

People have lost their lives to caffeine, most having ingested more than 20 grams. Serious intoxication can lead to delirium, seizures, and hyperglycemia. Though these statistics are for humans only, they strongly correlate to other animals as well, because their toxicity does not change based on who the recipient is. Unless spiders have an unprecedented immune system to certain chemicals, the results should be on the same scale as the human’s effects.

Oh what a tangled web we weave,

With eight legs a spider may be more stable than a drunk human. Yet, probably it will have some crossed wires.
