Actually, I looked it up and I think there are recipes for "beer cake" with this being the first https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/8424/beer-cake-i/ You learn something new every day I guess.
Wi: Coffee targeted as a drug.

I don't know how much that would contribute to the violence. That's like trying to picture teenagers rioting after being denied their snapchat or tiktok.
I wouldn't expect rioting in either case: the teens would be unable to organise without social media, while the adults would know how to organise but without coffee would lack the drive and energy.
Some points:
The LDS Church allows alcohol but only (officially) through local "State Liquor Stores" though this has been expanded over time to allow beer and wine to be sold in Supermarkets and other outlets with "proper license and applications". (When I first got stationed here back in '86 you could be 'busted' by the local police for carrying alcohol you purchased on base at the "Class Six" liquor store due to it being "above" approved levels)
The "caffeinated drinks" opposition is much less stringent than the alcohol opposition to the point where the LDS Church owns significant stock in Pepsi Co.
Getting coffee treated as a "real" drug is much harder than alcohol as you can point to cases of alcohol abuse and victims but that's much harder to do with coffee.

My wife would be facing charges.
Either for having a illegal substance or for killing someone

Meanwhile the countries that only drink tea become relatively much stronger. Asia and England will probably divide the world up between them.
Obama moment. Good heavens.
I think this short video may help further people's understanding of the importance of coffee to Brazil.
That president should get support of Congress and Supreme Court to declare that as constitutional. And making that amendment to constitution would be even harder. Alcohol prohibition was really unpopular almost from beginning. Coffee prohibition would be outright impossible and if president tries to push that, he will lost next election.
Sugar has indeed more negative health problems than coffee but not sure if it is realistic without much earlier POD.
I could believe that European Union or European Green parties, start to campaign against Coffee !
Since they manage to ban smoking and alcohol in EU, they could take Coffee and Tea next...
If they will be successful ? NOPE
it just like EU ban on deep-fry and roasting of foodstuffs, like bread, coffee beans, malt for beer and chips.
But the EU bureaucrats they realised to there horror, there offices were in Nations were populations deep-fry there food.
The Dutch, Belgian and French threaten to burn down some EU Offices...

Well, yes but actually no
Like, you can, but it tends to get more niche the more specific the thing is
Fun fact, OTL Brazil was trying to convert coffee into petrol before we discovered the brazilian oil fields, so in an alternate timeline we might have converted coffee into gasoline

EU is not going to prohibit alcohol or coffee. It wouldn't ever succeed since Germany and Czechia would are against alcohol prohibition and Sweden and Finland would oppose coffee prohibition. Not going to happen.
Probably only way remove coffee is just expect its extinction due climate change. But it is long time ahead.
it was proposed several times by EU, but failed on Germany and other nations
the proposed EU ban on deep-fry and roasting of foodstuffs, what include how coffee beans are roasted.
is only EU meddling with coffee for moment.
