Nope. Introduced to Britain in the mid 17th century, and even then very rare for a while.

It is quite simple really. The eternal anglo was getting absolutely dabbed on by literally every nation in literature. The final blows that made these works were Cervantès and Rabelais. They reunited the same team that made that abomination, England's proudest work, otherwise known as the KJV. Don't you find it strange that no Anglo ever came close to that country hic? Well that is because, like his works, he is fictive, a creation by the government, nothing more.

Did I take my medication today? No. You wanna know why? Medication is a work of the devil.

Yes. And he read deeply. We know this because of the scope of materials that he stole from and appropriate in his work.
He obviously retained a fuck load of info

Shakespeare likely smoked or ate opium, probably not regularly but at least tried it. And whatever plants or mushrooms available. These things were seen as medicinal and therefore accessible.

They drank beer at all times of day instead.

Caffeine is a drug that does more harm than good. The most you can be mad about is the unfairness that he was not exposed to caffeine at all, thus dodged that massive bullet which has struck our society collectively in the gut.
Aside from that, you also kind of answered your own question in the greentext. He rehearsed in the morning, performed in the day, and wrote in the evening. He worked all day at his craft and his passion, while you just shitpost on /lit/ with your time.
Which reminds me I’d better get off of here now too.
