How Much Caffeine Would Kill You?

[Labyrinth]

123.04 shots of espresso to kill me. I could down that in four hours, that's standard single-shot, 30 second drinks. I usually hit back a doubleshot ristretto (stronger) every morning, and have been known to drink up to 10 of these over the first few hours of a LAN party. Coffee will gladly take me to my grave!

It takes 90 cans of Crunk to kill Krunk. Heh.

 

[Spacelord]

A little idle browsing on the website tells me of the existence of a drink containing 300mg of caffein. This drink, called SPIKE something, could kill me in 35 cans. So, suicide by caffeine suddenly sounds like a likely scenario.

AWESOME.

So, the most lethal thing on that list I consume is classic Coke, and even then it would take about 428 to do me in.

And do you really think t was wise giving us your weight?

You just gave me yours

The Caffeine calculator is old news and has been around for years. It is for entertainment only and not to be taken too seriously.

After all, if you pull up an older coffee article, it only takes three cups of coffee a day to create short hallucinations, and nine cups a day to hallucinate more.

If you drink a 2 liter bottle of regular soda a day for more than two weeks, you risk not only high blood pressure levels and erratic heart beats, but the acid in the stuff can also cause ulsers in the stomach and mess up the esophagus. That's regular soda. I can't begin to tell you what energy drinks may due to your system or brain.

Children are more susceptible to internal effects from excessive caffeinated and soda drinks, including obesity, dehydration, and trouble concentrating.

This makes me feel miles better about giving up caffeine for lent.

I'm pretty sure that you'll die from the sugar intake before the caffeine gets to you...

I've never heard of anyone hallucinating on three (or even nine) cups. I could understand those figures if three cups a day was the *minimum* safe caffeine intake...

I couldn't find the relevant article offhand on this website, but a quick google search brought up a few news articles on the same thing: http://www.livescience.com/health/090113-coffee-hallucinations.html

My dad used to work for a rescue squad and they got called in one night to come help some guy that thought he was going to die. He did, but when they got to his body and had it examined, they found that he had been drinking heavily and had, they assumed, emptied half a bottle of caffeine pills which caused his heart to expand and fill his entire chest cavity, making it unable to beat.

 

[SenseOfTumour]

I remember on a bad 13 hour shift at a liquor store when I was like 20, (I was supposed to be doing 2 hours to help out, and I hadn't slept, but figured I could handle 2 hours then off to bed.) I took 48 pro plus over the course of a couple of hours, and, lets just say I won't be doing it again. I had the shakes like crazy, and couldn't write up the finances at the end of the day, although I admit I got a lot done. I was all over the place for a while after too, bloody idiotic thing to do tho and I don't recommend it.

Meh, still don't regret giving up caffeine completely (minus the tiny amount in chocolate). Sure, there may never have been any serious risk of it killing me, but I've felt 10x better without it.

 

[sooperman]

Only 318 cans of root beer would kill me XD

 

[sooperman]

Mountain Dew Baja Blast? Never heard of it before =/
But 200 is lethal =0

 

[Singularly Datarific]

Almost... There...

*BING* +1

 

[Erana]

Best suicide ever....

The disadvantage of being a frail internet nerd? Death by Spiked Shotgun in 29.25 cans

 

[Atvomat_Nikonov]

If you weighed 1kg, it would take half a can of All City NRG to kill you. I find that amusing, is that bad?

I think that goes without saying
