After 702.17 cups of Green Tea, you'd be pushing up daisies.
It would take 131.66 cans of Red Bull to put you down.
Somehow, I just don't see that happening.

All at once or throughout one's lifetime?

Either way I don't drink any of them, so I'm safe.

[1ight]

I'd say it is all at once, like in a row or so, under 24hours. Since the body wouldn't be able to digest it so fast?

[genocidal]

Well I drink coffee every morning for the past 3 or 4 years and I'm alive.

[Jerome Scuggs]

i wonder what the quickest route to death is?

[genocidal]

Holding your poop in for a month.

[1ight]

well, we're talking ODing, so it's the time it takes your body to succesfully detoxicate the first amount of caffeine, dunno what it is for caffeine, but that could be somewhere between 6 and 24 hours, rough guess

So it shouldn't be in a life time..

[Lethe]

The LD50 for caffeine is pretty high. Around 3-20g of caffeine will do you in. I happen to have 400 grams of pure caffeine powder sitting around though...

After 2102.10 glasses of Chocolate Milk, you'd be pushing up daisies

Uh oh
After 70.07 cans of Rockstar, you'd be pushing up daisies

I should cut back

Wouldn't you get hyponatremia long before you died of the caffeine?

[Singularity]

Drink a few liters of water in a short time and you are more likely to die from that than from an approved additive like cafein which can be in it indeed.
Also, since caffeine is a diuretic it actually makes this less dangerous compared to caffeine-free drinks.

If you really want to OD just order the pure compound from a good chemical supplier... (it's not even that expensive :P)

Edited out my silly typo of Caffeine

[Volcs]

Wouldn't you get hyponatremia long before you died of the caffeine?

Yep.

[Jeenyuss]

i mistook this for the music forum for a sec, thought this was a band or something

[Cops]

starbucks grande coffee shocked me

[Chao.]

You could drink 351.29 cans of Coca-Cola Classic before croaking

I don't see myself living past 25.
