I watched a friend yesterday drink 3 cups of coffee, and 4 expresso shots in a span of 2 hours. He later collapsed, and thought he was having a heart attack. His doctor told him that he overdid the caffeine, which caused his "panic" type of attack. I have never heard of it, but I would bet that if you drank like 30 expresso shots, and have any heart related issues, you could die similar to a cocaine overdose. Have I had too many drinks, or could it happen?:monsters-
absolutely possible
Let me tell you about a story that happened to me one night when I was in college… Don’t try this at home, but on a $100 dare, I drank 6 pots of coffee.
Everything was fine for about 5or 6 hours of beach volleyball then I started to crash and felt really tired. It got to the point that I didn’t want to stand up anymore, so I went to bed. I thought the moment my head hit the pillow that I would fall asleep, but it was the total opposite. My entire body was tired, but I couldn’t shut my eyes and fall asleep. I just laid there literally shaking for hours.<o
> </o>
Now I am not saying that I overdosed, but I think I was damn close. Had I kept drinking, who knows what would have happened. In my opinion, it is absolutely possible.
Epilogue
I am still a coffee drinker, although only espresso, and more interestingly, since that day coffee has absolutely no affect on me.

WEEKENDALKI said:I seriously would like to talk to someone who knows it if is possible to OD on coffee. I made a bet, and want to collect.:drink:
Of course you can, you can overdose on just about anything. You can overdose on water alone so of course you can overdoese on water + coffee grinds.
I have never heard or seen anything like that. I guess you can get a caffeine rush but to actually OD over caffeine I don't think it is possible. Pay me the 10k and I'll drink as much coffe as you want. You tell me the amount over what period of time, if I collapse I'll pay you the 10K if I don't you pay me... Let me know if you are interested...:toast:
