I never smoked - ever - anything. Didn't see the sense of putting rolled up leaves in my mouth & setting fire to them, especially if they contained a chemical we once used as a liquidinsecticide (nicotine.)

Tobacco also contains Polonium-210, a radioisotope that is known to cause lunc cancer when inhaled. The tobacco plant picks it up from the mined phosphate fertilizers used for growing them Phosphate deposits are often found in proximity to uranium & its decay products.

Find out the lethal dosage for caffeine (mg/kg of body weight, or along those lines), find the amount of caffeine for a given brand of coffee per cup, and do the math.

I think we worked this out at work. Was a while ago and the numbers are probably a bit hazy, but you'd need to hit something like eighty espressos in a half hour period to kill you. Reality of it is that you'd be unable to actually drink that much coffee no matter how hard you tried, and would likely start vomiting long before that amount.

You can die from drinking too much water, I would imagine you would become sick from water before caffeine if you tried to OD on caffeine with normal cups of coffee

Good thing I don't drink coffee in the morning.

Coffee is even worse than the deadly marijuana.

I couldn't stomach one cup of Tim Horton's garbage coffee, never mind 50. But I do have one cup in the morning and sometimes another in the afternoon.

Three cups of coffee, if I drink three cups of coffee in a single day I risk a heart attack. And diabetes (I like my coffe pretty sweet).

P.S.I'm talking about Italian-made coffee, here: a small cup contains as much caffeine as a couple of that strange and slightly aromatic beverage you call "coffee" in the USA :-D
