about 15 years ago i asked one of the people
at Peet's Coffee what the record was, for their
store. they said "6 expresso's".

one of the guys at an aerospace company
i worked at, the head security guy actually,
drank about 2 six packs of diet coke a day.

i think my record is 2 "doppio grande's", and
that was to do electromagnetic field theory
homework.

I'd like to know what mix my local cafe uses for their espresso, it kicks me in the ding ding on a daily basis.

The only drink soft drinks rarely, and when I do it is Sprite.

There's no caffeine in Sprite, so that won't kill you. You can go for death by sugar intake, though

346.20 cans of Coca-Cola Classic,




caffeine is very safe since it quickly has diminishing rewards then turns into negative effects very quick. nothing like other stuff where you take more and more to get a good high.
if you just drank 5 espressos you'd probably get jitters and nausea and other fun stuff...
