Do You See Dead People?
Well, you’re not alone or that strange after all.
According to some new research excessive caffeine can cause hallucinations according to the BBC.
In this study they found that people who drank more than seven cups of instant coffee were 3 times more likely to hallucinate.
This is good news for all you hard core energy drink addicts who far surpass the caffeine levels of 7 measly cups of instant coffee because now when you hear those voices, talk to people who aren’t really there, and see dead people, you know its just the caffeine and not that you are psycho!
Well, at least most of you.

I thought that meant it was working.
My eyes yesterday made it look like my desk was throbbing. I only had one cup of coffee.
Le sigh.
“caffeine can cause hallucinations” is poor research

“A recent study hit the headlines reporting a link between caffeine intake and susceptibility to hallucinations. I’ve just read the paper and it’s an interesting well-conducted correlational study, but what struck me was the wackiness of the headlines it generated.
…
The news stories are a strange mix between an obsession with ghosts, which came from God knows where, and a profound confusion between correlation and causation.”
I fail cut and paste (I ate too much of the latter)

We all hallucinate when we’re tired. THIS RESEARCH PROVES NOTHING IF THE PEOPLE DRINK COFFEE WHILE TIRED.*
*Not proven, but caffeine in theory can cause slight hallucinations.
