This, I think, could potentially scare you to death before the caffeine could kill you, but even though I don’t ever drink carbonated beverages (fizzy pop), energy drinks and the like, I do like my three cups of coffee in the morning. I’ll probably drink the same number of cups of tea in the afternoon and, some evenings (though it makes little difference after those), I might also drink some chocolate milk.
Compared to most people’s intake, plus their caffeine consumption from mints, chocolates and gum, which I do not partake in (chocolate once in a while - and I mean about once a month - but never mints and gum, because I can’t stand them), my consumption is probably quite low.
It pales in comparison to the 65.90 cups of Drip Coffee (3,954 mg of caffeine by my calculations) that it would take to kill me at my body weight, but do you think I should be concerned by this maybe?

are you sure you want to risk 65.90 cups of Drip Coffee? 60 could kill you
LOL! Well, I suppose then that I probably won’t manage the last 5.9 cups after I’m already dead!
No heck, I thought I was pretty restrained and righteous keeping to three mugs a day (that’s the capacity of my coffee machine) and it takes great willpower not to fire it up for a second time in the afternoon.
When I did that thing yesterday and found that, apparently, I’d already gone through the “anxiety” and “climbing the walls” stages, I was shocked.
it’s a choice between being a grumpy sod before caffeine or an agitated git afterward
Yep, substitute the words “cow” and “bitch” in my case, in place of sod and git and you’ve nailed it on the head really.
