Too Much Coffee?
Too Much Coffee?
You can accidentally kill yourself by drinking over 40 cups of coffee
in one day. The amount of caffeine is sufficient to cause respiratory
failure. - from the Bad Things section of www .odd-info,com

I call baloney. During various times of my life
(24 hour duty / night shift / all-nighter programming),
I've easily consumed 50 cups (i.e., 250 oz.) of coffee
a day, and on the odd occasion, even 60 cups.
I certainly wouldn't drink anywhere near that much
now. Matter of fact, my normal consumption these
days is more along the lines of ~37 oz.coffee/day...
though with at least that much additional iced tea /
cola as the days get hotter.

:o
That's around 5 cups every 2 hours! Very impressive.
I think that amount would probably kill me (seriously). I once drank a
pint of coffee that was the first part of a batch out of a commercial
drip machine. I had the shakes for about 4 hours after it.

50 cups a day is 10.4 oz per hour.
60 cups a day is 12.5 oz per hour.
Not really so much in that context, is it?
I'd bet at least 75% of men who have ever been in the
US military have consumed that much at one time or
other during their tours.
