so i was bored tonight and decided to see how much i could drink, im on pot number 3(10 cups per pot) over a span of 4 hours. sofar i must say im feeling it ahaha i am a bit jittery and hands trembling a bit. has anyone ever pushed the coffee limits to 5 pots in 5 hours? does it seem like alot even? its certainly alot for me!!

how much likker did you drink before you started this.

You really don't like your body that much do you ??

1 (7oz) cup of coffee = about 100mg caffiene

What are the symptoms of caffeine overdose?

Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system and can produce a variety of effects elsewhere in the body. The symptoms of a caffeine overdose ("caffeinism") will vary, according to individual differences and the amount consumed. Doses ranging from 250 to 750 mg (2 to 7 cups of coffee or tablets of NoDoz) can produce restlessness, diziness nausea, headache, tense muscles, sleep disturbances, and irregular heart beats. Doses of over 750 mg (7 cups of coffee) can produce all of the above as well as a reaction similar to an anxiety attack, including delirium, drowsiness, ringing ears, diarrhea, vomiting, light flashes, difficulty breathing, convulsions (extreme overdose). These amounts of caffeine may come from a single dose or from multiple doses at short intervals. Besides caffeine's effects, the essential oils of coffee may cause gastrointestinal irritation and diarrhea, and the high tannin content of tea can result in constipation.

Define normal? Maybe the caffeine affected your spelling and typing skills.

Any.

Coffee sucks.

I drink quite a bit of coffee also. What can i say? I like the stuff.

Maybe the question is..."How much boredom is too much boredom?" I think I found a new answer.
(It must be raining there, or snowing, ..or did your bike break down?)

I drink too much coffee myself. So I'm told.

I once cranked through about 8 cups in the first 2 hours of work and was just about as sick as I can ever remember being. Trembling, sweating, on the verge of vomiting. Won't do that again.

My self imposed limit these days is that I can have 3 cups a day and I have to have aquiered them all before 10 am. No more.

I really hope it doesn't hit you like that.
