New Drinks Added
I’ve made a few updates to the drink list and how things display…
I’ve added the following drinks to The Caffeine Database:
- Slim-Fast Cappuccino Delight Shake
- Big Red
- Mr. Pibb (Sugar Free)
- Coca-Cola Zero
- 7-Up
- Sprite
- Diet Coke with Lemon, Lime, and Splenda
- Coca-Cola C2
- Pibb Zero
- Vanilla Coke (Regular and Diet)
- Vault
- KMX Orange
- Oregon Chai (Concentrate)
- Java Chai
- Chocolate Milk
- Pacific Chai
- SoBe Adrenaline Rush
I’ve also improved how Death by Caffeine page displays your drink of choice. No longer does it say, “It takes 135 cups of Coffee (Decaf, Instant) to put you down.” It’ll say “Decaf Instant Coffee.” It’ll still be listed as the former in the dropdown list and The Caffeine Database for the sake of consistency.
I’ve been trying hard to get a good caffeine content number on Vamp Energy Drinks. They say “the legal maximum amount” or something, but I also can’t get a feel as to what the legal maximum is. Some people say 6mg, but looking at The Caffeine Database it’s clear that 6mg doesn’t apply in some cases.
I’m hoping to add various caffeine pills, mints, and chocolate to the calculator and database soon… keep checking back or subscribe to the rss feeds (at the bottom of the page).

Erowid has a lot of info about all kinds of different drugs, and it doesn’t mention anything about a legal limit in the US.

I would think that there would have to be a limit, though.

Says it’s 12 “micrograms per milliliter”
http://www.cptips.com/caff.htm agrees, and so does http://www.insidetri.com/train/tips/articles/2131.0.html
This one says 6mg/oz. as mentioned in this post:

This one says 200mg per litre:

I don’t feel like doing the calculations… Maybe they are all similar. Anyway, this is what I’ve found, and there was plenty more. Of course, it is always reassuring to find an “official” website with information. I don’t know where to look for that.
I just so happen to have a can of Vamp™ right here, here are the stats listed on the can:
Total fat: 0
Sodium: 30mg
Carbs: 26g
Sugars: 26g
Protein: 0g
Taurine: 1000mg
Caffeine: 120mg
Inosital: 50mg
Vitamin b-6: 50%
Miacin: 50%
Pantothenic Acid: 50%
Vitamin B-12: 50%
All of that is per serving (8oz) it comes in 16oz can so, 240mg caffine/can if you need a pic or somthing to verify my info so you can shove it on the list, email me.
What about us Brits? We use Stones & Pounds.
