Woman Dies After Drinking 18 Pints of Coca-Cola


Recommended Posts

You're looking at 9-18 pints, or 1-2 gallons of soda. (12 or 24 pack, respectively)

So 12 fluid ounces, multiplied by 55 cans...

12 * 55 = 660oz, which translates to 41.25 pints of pepsi.

Or just over 5 gallons...

$120... for "some dog", as you put it.

Guess life can be put into dollars. :laugh:

(please correct my math if I'm wrong here at all, because I don't want to be right)

hey my parents were having money troubles and I wanted to help the pupper.... I was 12

There's probably some other factors involved. Not saying Coca-Cola is good for you at all, lol.

Not sure how much 18 pints is, but I've known many friends to drink a 12 pack to a 24 pack of cans a day.

One friend of mine drank so much of it while gaming he was getting really fat, so he switched to Diet Coke, but then found out that it was even worse for you so he switched to Coke Zero I think it was.

I've heard stories about putting a metal bold into a cup of Coke, and the Coke will eat it away eventually. So what does that mean for your body? lol.

1) your friends will probably start suffering from diabetes or die from some coronary disease, they are stupid

2) coke will not disolve metal, it's by far not acidic enough for that. Coke however will get rid of rust on metal but that is only because it has PH value lower than 7 because it contains phosphoric acid, orange juice (which has a much lower PH) will have the same effect. Simple chemistry

That doesn't exactly make sense. When we didn't have money, we didn't eat. We also didn't own pets if we couldn't afford to feed ourselves. I don't know any kids even in high school that'd have paid that much out on a dare either.

Not trying to call you out, but I just don't believe you. Sorry.

?I didn?t ever think about the Coke. I never considered it would do any harm to a person. It?s just a soft drink, just like drinking water. I didn?t think a drink?s going to kill you.?

Darwin wins again. Only bad part in this is that the stupid husband didnt go with her. With all the info available to people at the touch of a button these days, they should of been smarter. I am betting Coke will be getting sued some time soon for not putting a warning label.

Geez, no wonder she died. She drank over four 2 liters bottles (or 2.25 gallons) of Coke a day. That would kill anyone over time. If someone drank that much in coffee or even water, they will still probably die. Anything in excess is dangerous... well... maybe there are a few exceptions. ;)

Umm .... you can drink 2.25 gallons of water a day and be more than fine ....

Not uncommon to see people at the gym carrying a gallon of water around either, for that matter. Typical US military canteens are 1 quart. In BMT, they ask that you drink a minimum of 9 and no more than 12 canteens full of water, which is 2-3 gallons daily. Of course, you're active and doing stuff, so you need to replenish what you lose.

So.. if said woman dies of drinking too much cola..

this guy never got the notion when she.... ( she had to with that much drinking) that wasn't a hint to him that she ingested too much?

it blows my mind how people still don't understand caffeine. Its a drug, a very addictive one at that, but at the same time its relatively harmless. You have people all over the world who need their "fix" every single damn day, just in a different form, be it coffee, soda, tea, energy drinks, shots, and even chocolate has small amounts in it. These people think they need whatever it is they are drinking to prevent their headache when really all they need is the damn caffeine. The caffeine didn't kill her, its easy to build up a tolerance to it, and if she's been doing it for this long im sure she was used to it. What killed her was the rest of the drink, the sugar and all the other stuff that goes into it. If you really need the caffeine that bad to the point you drink this much cola, just go buy some caffeine pills, much cheaper, and 1 pill is like the same as a strong energy drink, cup of coffee, or probably 4-5 cans of coke. Its fine if you like to drink coke, I drink a can or so a day too, but if you get the point where you need to drink multiple cans in a row just for your caffeine fix you probably need to find a different delivery method for your fix, because all that sugar isn't good for you.

I felt like I was going down the same path, where I needed a can when I woke up and before work to avoid headaches. I completely dropped caffeine for like 2 months cold turkey and yea my head was killing me for a few days. Once I got over that I eventually started to drink it again, but this time I decided that if I do ill only drink sprite or caffeine free coke over the weekend, to break up the cycle, so I don't drink it every day and depend on the caffeine. Now since I limited myself it doesn't really matter if I have one or not since I broke up the daily grind of needing one every day my body doesn't depend on it. This way now when I really do honestly need a kick I can drink a single coke or energy drink and the caffeine actually works the way its supposed to and my body doesn't have some big tolerance to it.

also the fact that the husband reported that she hardly ever ate. So basically her eating/drinking habits were up the f@%*. And just to rub salt in the wound the coroner has recommended that coke put warnings on its labels that it can be deadly, sure coke isn't good for you but if you and your partner think drinking 10 litres a day is ok then you both have serious mental problems. i'm sure drinking 10 litres of milk a day would mess your body up as well, should milk have labels saying its potentially deadly???

Well said.

I drank 55 cans of pepsi in one day for a dare so I can get money to help pay for soem care for a dog I had. I got 120 bucks and that was enough to pay for it.... I was totally messed up for 2 days but it was worth it to help the pupper.

cat helping a dog? :|

    • I'm not unblocking my camera for this crapola. Sorry, Google.
    • Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.
    • Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.
