Exploration

Adenosine builds up in the brain through the waking hours and on occupying its receptors produces the sensation of tiredness. It is the receipt for the day's spending.

Caffeine has enough of the shape to enter that receptor and not activate it. It occupies the place and blocks the notice.

It contributes nothing. The tiredness goes on building up behind the covered receptor, and when the caffeine is cleared, everything that gathered meanwhile is charged at once.

In days or weeks the brain makes more receptors to compensate. The dose that used to wake you becomes the one needed to be normal, and without it there is a headache.

The skeleton of the molecule is the same purine base that is in the DNA of everything alive, with three methyls on top. The most consumed psychoactive on the planet is a letter of the code with three additions.
