Robbie Williams and Caffeine Addiction
I couldn’t really care less about which celebrity goes in and out of rehab. Well… maybe I do feel a bit sorry them. But I feel even sorrier for those poor unfortunate impressionable people that actually look up to these celebrities and want to emulate them.
The Daily Telegraph actually decided to print a story about UK singer Robbie Williams’ addictive issues. What caught my eye was the caffeine addiction.
According to the bizarre report:
Apparently, he [Williams] was washing down prescription pills with 20 cans of Red Bull and 36 double espressos a day.
I don’t know where these guys source this kind of material, but seriously, by my calculation that equals around 6.6 grams per day. That’s grams not milligrams. With that sort of intake, the Death By Caffeine calculator suddenly seems all too real.
At 6 grams of caffeine Williams would be one very sick puppy. Here’s what happened to a child who ingested 78mg caffeine per Kg of body weight (ref).
Abdominal pain, alternating states of consciousness, copious mucus secretions, palpitations, photophobia, muscle twitching, miosis, clammy distal extremities, pulmonary rales and wheezes, hypoactive deep tendon reflexes.
