Caffeine is a drug, and the lethal dose (the amount it takes to kill you) is 10 grams, more or less depending on body weight, how fast you ingest the drug, and other factors.

Don’t let it stress you. You’d have to down 75 cups of coffee in one day before the caffeine kills you. Or 125 cans of Red Bull, 170 cups of Haagen-Dazs Coffee Ice Cream, nearly 300 cans of Coke, or over 1,000 bars of Hershey’s Chocolate.

Unfortunately for me, it’ll take only 30 Starbucks Mocha Grandes to do me in.
