Coffee Drinkers read this

In the New York Times Health section, there was a great article on caffeine intoxication. All you coffeeholics should read it. Some of you have that darting eyes look about you and can't seem to pay attention well.

After reading that, go check out the list of caffeine content of various drinks. Another list shows slightly higher values.

Putting this in perspective, a single large Starbucks coffee (500+ mg caffeine) has roughly the equivalent of FOUR cans of Red Bull or a SIXPACK of Mountain Dew soda in caffeine dosage.

So people please, watch your caffeine intake. Try to keep to the recommended 250 mg per day.

Sweet! I typically only do about 3 cans of Dew a day, so now I know I can do a full six-pack!

Double the Dew! (tm)

So you're saying Red Bull is the best bet for quick charge-up? Excellent!

Off topic, but are you involved in this:

or is it a rip off?

All right! Now when my wife tells me I drink too much Coke, I can produce scientific evidence that I can drink 7 cans a day with no risk whatsoever! (insert maniacal laughter of evil mad scientist here...)

No, I'm not involved with the Cantenna people. I'm told their antenna works well, but I haven't used it.

My doctor told me that I need to cut back on my caffine intake, but that's where I draw the line, I NEEDS me some coffee in the am!
