Fun site!
It would take 651.48 cans of Barq's Root Beer to put you down
Just once... ;)

It's a good bet something else would get to you before the caffein, I would think.

Wait, is this the amount of drinks in your life at your weight TOTAL or the amount at your weight drinking nonstop?

At once. He's calculating what an official caffeine OD would be for you based on some amount of caffeine per mass unit and the amount in all those drinks.

Well, if you have any 59 pound friends you'd prefer were out of your life, and you're somewhat heavier than them, just challenge them to see who can drink the most BuzzWater. At 19.79 they'll kick the can. :-P

i once calculated (a year ago?) it would take a certain amount of a certain caffine mint (the most potent i could find available) to give my nextdoor neighbour's dog a heart attack.

but i can't remember how many, or what the brand was :cry:


an interesting tidbit though:

"Ingestion of 150mg/kg of caffeine seems to be the LD_50 for all people."

so basically, 10grams caffine will have a 50/50 chance of killing me.

you have no bawls girly man! You could drink 20.48 cups of Starbucks Grande Coffee before croaking

I see no mention of Planet JAVA's "Tremble" 120 mg of extra caffine

Starbucks Grande Coffee (16oz - 550mg caffine)
would be the most potent product on that list - even though he has incorrectly listed at 500mg

100lbs 13.65 cups
200lbs 27.30 cups
300lbs 40.95 cups

BTW I am dedicated CrackBucks StarCrack drinker/luver/zombie
(Venti© 20oz w/2 shots of espresso 867.5 mg caffine)
100lbs 7.86 cups
200lbs 15.73 cups
300lbs 23.60 cups

Only 184.90 cans of Mountain Dew to kill you? No wonder I feel sick whenever I drink that stuff, thats why I don't drink it. I'm safe though cuzz the only pop I usually drink is sprite/7-up which has NO caffeine. :D

25 cans of 'Bull is my personal best. Caffeine had little effect on me after that until I quit drinking tea/coffee/energy drinks everyday... :)
