I found this almost ammusing and partially worth your while test.
Pretty much says how much of a drink you need to drink before it kills you.

Brewed Tea
Me 89KG's
After 223.19 cups of Brewed Imported Tea, you'd be pushing up daisies.

I picked Tea because it's the only thing that i saw that i really drink.

What's the timeframe? If it's cumulative over a lifetime, I'd be toast already :eek:

I used my favorite soft drink, Pepsi.

Gulp down 233.49 cans of Pepsi-Cola and you're history.

251.36 cans of Dr Pepper....I feel the need to test this theory

After 2730.00 glasses of Chocolate Milk, you'd be pushing up daisies.

97.50 cans of Monster + You = Death.

85.31 cans of Rockstar + You = Death.

Gulp down 433.59 cans of Cherry Coke and you're history.

yeah......I am pretty sure I drink that over the course of a year......so what's the time frame? because I am not exactly dead yet.

I don't want to check, because I know I'll test it.


That and I don't know what I weigh.

Maybe if you drank nothing but the drink that you chose, then you would be dead after so much.

I assume the time frame is in one sitting.
Of course your bladder would explode before hand...

whats the convertion rate for stone to kg

*tests it*


crap I only have 32 cans in my house........:(

*goes to the store*

whats the convertion rate for stone to kg

Trick question! A stone weighs the same, only the numbers change!

:D

u r smrt.

right .. you could be abit more explicit on HOW it changes

right .. you could be abit more explicit on HOW it changes

1 stone = 6.35029318 kilograms

whats the convertion rate for stone to kg

your scales should have an lb scale as well as a stone one though...

Maybe if you drank nothing but the drink that you chose, then you would be dead after so much.

nope not that either :p

You could drink 196.49 cans of Coca-Cola before croaking.

i think ig tot he weight thing right

i think ig tot he weight thing right

it sounds about right unless your really fat...

Trick question! A stone weighs the same, only the numbers change!

It most certainly does not

I weigh 8 stone 12 pounds which is about 60kg I think

The conversion rates are
2.2lb = 1kg

there are 14 pounds in a stone

soooo my weight

8 x 14 + 12 = 124 pounds

divide by 2.2 to change to kilos: gives 56kg

Im 5'11" (yep Im a skinny git)

You should read the timeframe in the FAQ, it's actually quite amusing.

I drink tea and various soft drinks, most of which I'd have to down 2000+ of. Which won't be happening anytime soon, thankfully. :D

I liked the "Penguin Mints" tab much better.

Seems like it'd take 1.705 KitKat bars to kill dear precious little me.

... who knew there was caffeine in KitKat?

ETA: And apparently, it's only 68 pieces of a rather small cady called RocketChocolate to send me off.. I don't like that thought. That's actually a rather doable quantity, 68 of those little individually-wrapped chocolatey thingies..

You could drink 199.73 cans of Coca-Cola Classic before croaking
After 119.14 cups of Instant Coffee, you'd be pushing up daisies
It would take 123.47 cans of Mountain Dew to put you down.
It would take 165.63 cans of Sunkist Orange Soda to put you down. .

:eek:

94.04 cans of Red Bull + You = Death.

I find that hard to believe. There are stories all over about people dying after, like, 8.

I thought it was interesting that diet Coke has more caffeine than regular coke, yet normal Mountain Dew has the same as diet Mountain Dew.

Usually that's when they're working out or doing a physical activity.

Well, there's always people (like me) who are hypersensitive to caffeine, and who (unlike me) aren't smart enough to stay away from caffeine.. this calculator thing will probably assume 'normal' caffeine tolerance.

That, and you might want to take into account stature, general health, previous drug history and other assorted things these people might have accumulated inside their brains and body.. which sensationalist stories about people dying from a couple of Red Bulls usually aren't prone to do.

ooh my no Earl Grey on the list

Misread the instructions, so it came up with:
Since you weigh nothing, you're a freak of nature and should be cleansed with fire.

Cool. I like that answer better.

I haven't heard any such story, but it sounds very urban legendy to me.

Aha! I was right!

After 2730.00 glasses of Chocolate Milk, you'd be pushing up daisies.

97.50 cans of Monster + You = Death.

85.31 cans of Rockstar + You = Death.

I could only drink 1433.25 glasses of Chocolate Milk.

Also, 207.72 cans of Coca-Cola Zero would apparently kill me.

How many before the sugar causes you to go into diabetic shock?

265.42 cans of Diet Coke + You = Death.

ooh my no Earl Grey on the list

Isn't Earl Grey considered 'brewed tea'?

If you drank that much tea you would more likely die of hyponatremia (too much liquid) than be killed by too much caffeine.

102.38 cans of red bull would put me down.

Think it would take more if I was Austrian?

After 68.25 cans of Relentless, you'd be pushing up daisies.

i actually read this as 'dialisis'(sp) rather than daisies, which is perhaps more medically accurate. honestly once i downed a 500ml can of relentless and i felt like i was gunna burn out there and then, i must have been otherwise sick because i done it again and no such ill feeling occurred. anyway, iss good shit .

You could drink 760.06 cans of Barq's Root Beer before croaking.
...

That's a LOT more than anyone else has posted...either everyone here is really really thin or I'm fatter than I thought. :(

You could drink 257.05 shots of Espresso before croaking.

*buys shit loads of goya*

Usually that's when they're working out or doing a physical activity.

And drinking alcohol.

88.16 cans of Boo-Koo Energy + You = Death
29.4 24oz cans of Boo-Koo Energy make you die.
It would take 75.03 cans of Jolt Cola to put you down.

I wonder if those are the 8, 16 or 24oz size. (It seems they mean 8oz cans of BooKoo, I drink 24s

PS: Chocolate does not have caffeine, the stimulent is theobromine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theobromine

I find that hard to believe. There are stories all over about people dying after, like, 8.

I knew a group that had a Mt Dew Amp drinking contest. They went to the hospital. After hearing them discuss what they were doing I figured out that they drank about 48/8.4 oz cans each.They had to go to the hospital on that. So would figure out to be 403.2 oz/3.15 gallons. So I would guess that the chart is fairly accurate. The question would be is if you could actually keep down that much liquid without throwing it up. Unless of course you took in through an I.V.

You could drink 73.13 cans of Monster before croaking.

it just means that you have to drink all of the stuff before the first few grams of the caffeine you drink has its half-life... and i think the half life of caffeine is around 4 hours or so, so id have to drink 73.13 cans of monster in 4 hours. geez.

by the way, this in no means is a certainty. its an LD50 - lethal dose for 50 percent. so half of the people like me would die at 73 cans and the other half wouldnt. its a common term used in science to measure toxicity.

for example, arsenic has an ld50 at a few grams.

It would take 386.15 cans of Wild Cherry Pepsi to put you down.

104.81 cans of Monster + You = Death.

It would take 357.90 cans of Dr Pepper to put you down.

After 2934.75 glasses of Chocolate Milk, you'd be pushing up daisies.

oh, and the more you weigh, the more it takes to kill you...

oh, and the more you weigh, the more it takes to kill you...

Which is why it takes everyone 300 caffeine drinks but only 100-250 for little old 99lb me. :(

I could drink 325.74 cans of Barq's Root Beer before dying. I guess I'm smaller.

at weight of 61.5kg and i Gulp down 272.17 cans of coke i'am history
why am i not dead as i drink more then that a week

Should I be worried that I apparently have the lowest caffeine tolerance here?

If the caffeine doesn't kill you, the 100+ other chemicals in the soda/drinks will. I have a theory that the sole reasons for longer lifespans in the western nations has nothing to do with better medical care, but has to do with the preservatives we put in our food.

It's a mixture of both.

Question is, are you underweight? You don't look like it from your pancake photo, but it's not exactly the most optimum angle shot for figuring that out.
