So, no coffee (caffiene) or Red Bull drinkers, painkillers, headache tabs, hayfever meds.
They are all 'drugs'....

 So true.

But they don't have an influence.

Everything has an influence even sub-consciously....
Even taking a sip of water at a particular moment in time has influenced the decisions your mind will take next....you just don't know it

Before taking the mouth too full  you may consider that "drugs" has a different meening for non-native English. Drugs and medication is a different thing in German. In German: Drugs un-ambiguously always means illegal stuff. You can assume that many participants in this straw poll have a different view than you on the used terms.
BTW: don't take the poll too serious anyways

I know that, maybe you are taking my response too seriously!
There are 'legal highs' that you could still be under the influence of as well to further muddy the waters....

Alcohol is legal in 90% of the world, and still one of the worst drugs.

I was once in a pub on a Friday evening, and got a call from work so went outside so I could hear better. A couple of seconds later my IT manager walks out, also on the phone (he had been in the other part of the bar, unbeknownst to myself).
We shared a taxi to the office, and sorted out the problem, then back to the pub!

Does one pint at lunchtime count as 'under the influence'? If so, yes, regularly (every Friday and some other times) – pub lunches are used as an informal meeting setting and a social thing here. Otherwise no, though I have written some hobby code when actually drunk (it doesn't usually work well though).

I think this one of the first articles I saw on the CP news feed, a study into alchohol and its effects on a persons performance. It basically says between 1-2 pints we become more focused and more able to code efficiently, who know's if its true..... hack day test?

Once had a programmer that wrote his best code after drinking two beers or more. I asked him, how is this possible. He said that he learned programming while drinking in college.

Once, being stinking drunk, I solved the problem I could not solve for couple of days. I did it elegantly and efficiently, it actually worked precisely as expected. The only problem was that I spent next half day after I got sober trying to understand how the hell did it actually work...

I've done that a couple of times on personal projects (although maybe the solution was not efficient, it certainly wasn't elegant)
When I wake up the next morning I usually don't even look at the code, I just throw it away and start again.

Well, as I said it happened only once, and presumably is just a good luck In general I avoid coding when drunk because of absolutely unpredictable results.
