I’m 8 and I eat coffee with a spoon, washed down with 6 monsters a day. These stories are fake.

Overdose is from a toxic amount of caffeine in the system at one time. The caffeine molecule breaks down pretty quickly but this can vary among people.

My question to the caffeine Overdose is whether it’s cumulative or a one time shot (like dogs eating chocolate).
I have felt the effects of too much caffeine, one time actually scared me (and my coworkers), but on any given day I’ll have an energy drink (>1/2 gram).
If you’re drinking/taking the caffeine to stay awake, you honestly shouldn’t feel any different. You just don’t have a need to sleep right away. If you feel the ‘buzz’, that is your body saying you’ve had enough, taking ore won’t help your cause.
And the average result of too much caffeine is throwing up, or wishing you would.
Most teenagers use it because of the hype we adults have put on it, that morning cup of coffee you ‘have’ to have to get you’re day started.
This is just my point of view, but one I’ve experienced and I hope it helps someone. Btw.. if you stop completely, you will most likely have a piercing headache for a couple of days.. then it goes away. I have had that every time

Dunno why but one addiction I had When I was like 8 or something one day i had a few Cappuccinos and I felt so addicted. I had a Boost energy drink when I was like 11 or something and I hated the taste .. Only recently (I’m 14 now) I’ve started drinking energy drinks more often now and kind of like the taste n seem to be addicted but I’m kind of tolerant.. One week I could have a like maybe 5 of the cheap 35p energy drinks and a few Boosts and the next few I’d deal without them .. Never tried a rockstar or monster but I’m gonna soon my friend was sat next to me drinking an apple monster and I was like ahhh I’ve got to have one!!

@michael-1200mg a week is less than 200mg a day so I think you’re not in any danger of overdosing….

I’m 17 and I’m doing a Certificate 2 in Hospitality.
Today I did Prepare and serve espresso coffee in which I drunk 7 short black(4 where from other people who didn’t drink theres), 1 Long Macchiato, 3 Cappuccino, 2-3 Flat white(not sure how many exactly) and 2 Mochachinos.
Towards the end of todays course I started to get Overdose Symptoms like Jitters, Increased heartbeat, Nausea, Anxiety, Sweating and Dizziness. The person running the course noticed me acting weird, at the end of the class he ask me why, so I told him how much I have drank and he took me home strait away instead of me walking home (I wish he took me to the hospital) because I’ve been sitting here shaking for last 5+ hours and it’s only just starting go away and I’m so glade it is.
I will never have more then 1 cup of coffee again (1 cup is the most I’ve had in one day).
