Calamity Jane Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 really...anyone know what it is? I know every substance is lethal at a certain dose. Seems like we often have "coffee Sundays" around here, and just like those "never-again-3-bottles-of-red-wine" wicked hangover-promises (which are soon enough forgotten), I keep forgetting that 2 pots should be my limit, but by then I'm well into the shakey phase! how many cups did ya ever pound inta ya??

AD Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 i despise coffee, it is one of the most foul things i can imagine in most circumstances. i only ever drink it when driving super late at night, and it is so loaded with cream and sugar that it doesn't even taste like coffee anymore.however, in university i had a 25 page paper to write in about 16 hours. over the course of the night i drank about 4 pots of coffee, had the shakes like crazy and wrote the most incomprehensible crap i've ever written, aside from some posts on jambands.ca. I think i got a b+ though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phishtaper Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 It’s the caffeine that would kill you. The lethal dose of caffeine is between 5g and 50g. Assuming a cup of coffee has 40mg caffeine, you’d have to drink a minimum of 125 cups within an hour or two to get close to a lethal dose. (LD-50 equals approx. 150 to 250 mg/(kg body mass).)

YearsAlongTheSea Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 It's hard to say. Let's say you've got yourself a 30 hour drive from the east coast to the mountains, everytime you stop for gas, you fill up the thermos. We're talking 13-15 cups in a day... easy...On average though, I try not to drink more than 2 or 3... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewRider Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 I drink 4-5 cups a day since I stopped drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon for breakfast. I feel fine with it but then I take pills at night that make me go to sleep! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
