Re: How much caffeine will kill you?

5 cups a day may not kill you but it sure wil wreak your nervous system.
I use to have near a pot a day, plus teas, for a time. Could have been the cause to the blepharspasms I had, or it was post-delerium.... idk

Re: How much caffeine will kill you?

The power drinks that you can get in many stores here can have up to 800 mg caffeine in them, and some students swig down 2 or 3 of those before an exam. That would be the equivalent of 12 - 15 cups of coffee! They fail the exam because their hands get so shaky they can't write.

Like most everything else, taken in moderation coffeine is just fine. BTW, dogs are very sensitive to caffeine, and the caffeine in one cup of coffee, or the theobromine (a compound related to coffeine) in a bar of chocolate is enough to kill a dog.

I can see how caffeine is affecting you already. You are typing without even taking a break to breathe! Slow down.

Re: How much caffeine will kill you?

Ha ha ha, i just finished my science assignment on Energy Drinks and their effect on the body. Most energy drinks only have about 80mg/250mL of caffeine. But in Australia there have been about 20 deaths a year occur from people getting all caffeined up and dying.

Re: How much caffeine will kill you?

Lol I got 'Aren't you dead yet?'.

I don't drink too many coffees or energy drinks during the day, but I don't weigh much so I guess that's what got me, haha!

I may or may not be drinking a can of 'Mother' right now... :s
