The Beatles without drugs

According to legend, the Beatles were accidentally introduced to drugs by Bob Dylan ('accidentally' because he already thought they knew about drug culture, having misheard the lyric 'I can't hide' in I Want To Hold Your Hand as 'I get high').

Assuming this is true, WI it didn't happen?

Alright, the Beatles are probably going to get into drugs eventually, but what would the equivalent albums to Revolver and Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band be without the influence of LSD?

Without drugs, I would believe that the Beatles would persist with the 'She Loves You', and 'I want to Hold your Hand' type songs longer than they did in OTL, and that their popularity would ebb a bit by 1966 as people get tired with the cheesy love songs. The drug culture itself in the late sixties would not nearly be as prominent as having such an iconic group like the Beatles hooked on drugs really put fuel to the fire of the whole drug culture thing. Also, their style of music would maybe also shift directly from the love songs to the late sixties style, (like the Hey Jude, Get Back and Let it Be). They would probably still be known as a very popular band of the 60's, but not the iconic one we know today.
