How Much Caffeine Is Too Much?

Years ago I suffered extremely bad dizzy spells which would prevent me from moving at the risk of immediately falling over. These instances would last several days, progressively getting weaker. A tip from a doctor that over consumption of caffeine might be the cause proved to be correct. Switching to decaffeinated coffee caused subsequent dizzy spells to be weaker than previous and eventually they stopped.

On the subject of caffeine, vaping, as a vehicle for caffeine delivery instead of, or in addition to nicotine delivery, is an interesting new way to get it into my system.

That's like asking "how much joy, happiness, wonder, and love is too much?"

Caffeine is life. Caffeine is love. Caffeine is everything good, just, and proper about life. I <3 caffeine.

Joy, happiness, wonder, and love, don't have an LD50 of 192 milligrams per kilogram.

Jeebus. What else do you hate? Puppies? Apple pie? Ice Cream? Christmas? LISP?

They've all let me down over the years.

Three Charged Lemonades is too much.

I had no idea Panera was killing people with lemonade.

At a local fancy brunch place, a relative from the south asked if there was a charge for lemonade refills. The waitress frowned and said “this isn’t syrup out if a bottle, a human being squeezed these by hand. So yes, there’s a charge.”
