So I was thinking earlier about how my coffee consumption has drastically escalated since I took on the new job. Having a free starbucks machine constantly pumping coffee into my cup hasn't helped any.
I figured that I'm averaging about 10 - 12 cups a day. and when I say "cups" I really mean 20 oz mugs.
So, 12 x 20oz = 240 oz. (too bad I wasn't drinking that much water!)
They say about 85mg of caffeine are in a standard cup of coffee.
240 oz is 30 cups of coffee... so 30 x 85mg = 2550 mg or 2.55g
And then when I tack on a few diet sodas and anything extra I'm probably about getting about 2.75g.
With ~5g being the lethal dose, I'm more than 1/2 the way to suicide by coffee.
And the sad thing is I never get jittery or hyper. I'm still the laid back 'ol Daniel.
Maybe I should drink more.
