Yes, I've heard of a man who worked stupidly long hours, drank up to forty cans of energy drink a day, and had at least six coffees to boot, he died of a heart attack brought on by excess caffeine.
The moral of the story is, if you have to do overtime to keep your supplies of energy drink topped up, you're doing something wrong and should stop, now.

- If that's what you're doing, I'm inclined to agree! You're stuffed old boy! ;-)
  Seriously though, drink more water, sugary drinks will knacker your kidneys, eat a couple of apples a day, maybe four at most, this not only keeps you more awake than an energy drink, but it also gives you vital nutrients that help you stave off illness, and keeps you nicely hydrated!

yeah, apparently more than 9 cups of coffee a day is overdosing. I used to drink about 70 cups of coffee a week then I read the stuff it does to you. It can make you jittery, nervous, anxious and stuff. Dont take too much of it!

- Not only that, but it can cause heart arrythmias and significant stress on your entire cardiovascular system.

- yeah I get palpitations and all that and I just stopped taking it. I find it worse too the day after a night out on the beer so I just drink tea. Its got caffeine in it too but not as much. Apparently extreme cases, you can hear voices and stuff! It even scares me talking about this!! Coffee triggers panic attacks.

- I allow myself one large cup of coffee each morning, then have a glass of V-8 vegetable juice, a glass of orange juice, and milk over my cereal or with a sausage and egg biscuit. During the day, I alernate between bottled water and things like Diet Pepsi or some of the new "flavored water" drinks.

I haven't yet. And, if you saw my caffeine intake, you'd think I've tried. :)

On the flip side, if you get addicted to massive amounts of caffeine, the withdrawal can put you in the hospital. Happened to a guy I went to school with in the Navy.

- Hmm, withdrawal, fun.
