This article is opinionated and inaccurate as far as can tell.

These are for sure as safe as coffee, stating other wise is your opinion. Drink enough coffee and you’ll experience some first hand death as well.

Furthermore, the bottle has recommended dosages…

I love the quote, “It does not say on the bottle that it will kill you.”

Neither does bottle watered, but if you drink enough you’ll die. Here’s a tip parents: Too much of almost anything can kill you. Lets label the world because your son made some really bad choices.

half life of caffeine is about 5 hours. which means that if you take 4 when you wake up, 4 five hours later, 4 five hours later, that by the time that third dose hits you, you only have “1″ of the first dose left and “2″ of the second dose left, totalling 7 at one time. which is significantly less than 24 at one time

It’s something I’ve contemplated in the past. Funny how these “Fun Facts” about caffeine say 10 grams, equivalent of 80 to 100 cups of coffee in rapid succession, is enough to kill you.

Yeah I feel real sorry for him. But the sad thing is I can take 15 or so a day and i am fine . On days I don’t have adderall . I take up to 4 at a time and drink a 24oz monster on top of that still No where near the adderall but it does help my add when I run out. In 23yo BTW I think stone work different on people with add they calm me down.

many kids/teenagers don’t think about caffeine in the same way more experience people do, this is the problem. they aren’t concerned and may never have had a bad experience with caffeine. all they know is that it’s cool, it makes them all hyper and fun, and their parents don’t like them having so much…it’s perfect. So all they see caffeine as is positive, so the more the better without thinking anything ACTUALLY bad will happen. Also, thinking of consequences is the last thing most young people do. Caffeine should be handled and treated with respect because at large enough amounts it can give a person some of the most terrible hours of their life. I don’t have to tell anyone this that makes it to this page though congrats you survived your bad experience.

Actually, yjuytjuty (O.o Nice… screen name…?), it IS entirely statistically possible to OD on THC, the chemical found in marijuana, but it’s highly unlikely considering that various parts of the plant (and various breeds and strains of the plant) all contain different levels of THC. It’s also theoretically possible to get addicted to THC, but again, unlikely.

On the No-Doz. An energy drink or coffee is brought into your body a bit at a time and absorbed through the stomach lining nearly as soon, since the molecules are in the liquid state and more free to move around – and what’s in your stomach, liquid, right? So some absorb and some hang around, absorbing later. The caffeine in a No-Doz, however, dissolves all at once and thus hits you all at once as the stomach acid digests it, so you’re getting one ‘coffee-level’ dose of caffeine all at once as opposed to drinking it while on your daily commute.

I once was dared by much older friends to eat a box of 24 NoDoz, not only was it one (if not, the) stupidest thing i’ve ever done, but also one of the scariest. I was having uncontrollable twitches, and insomnia which lasted 2 days afterwards. Im just glad it wasn’t me that ended up having an article written about them

This is designated to everyone but primarily to Roger… If i assume correctly with your use of the word “kid” and referring to this 19 yr old man, it wouldnt have mattered if they “put it in a poison cabinet” I do not know about the 19yr olds you know but i am 19, married with two children and enlisted, we arent incompitent, we was just dumb. As to everyone else, my senior year, i had a daily caffeine intake of apporx. 1500-2000mg a day with a 22hr awake period with no adverse affects. I only weighed 140 at 5’8″. It all depends on your normal usage. It sounds like a clear cut case of dumb suicide. I would think that if he had any sense and was still set to end his life he wouldnt have use one of the hardest drugs to OD on to do it. Asprin would have been a lot easier. Or a bridge. Or a building. get the picture.?? I have cut my caffeine intake down now, (it was hard) and i am down to on average between 200 and 1000mg a day. Primarily because i am now a 12 hour shift worker. The info on caffeine is now readily available to anyone who cares to go to Google.com. Most drinks and foods now have the caffeine content listed due to the fact that the FDA has deemed caffeine as a chemically addictive drug. The man did one of three things. Wanted a cheap death. $2.45. ,, Wanted a number to brag about the next day.. “i popped 24 caff caps last night.” ,, or ,, Was just plain stupid. No offense intended to the family but seriously. Who OD’s on caffeine? even with FIXX Extreme shot’s i would now have to drain 30 packs back to back to hit the toxicity level and i am only 165lbs and those have 400mg per pack. According to the calc. “which they state is not 100% accurate, i would have to consume 11650mg of caffeine to hit the toxicity levels required for death. and that is the same as any other vitamin OD. Its like every other thing. Stay within your limits or dont play the game.
