  1. Not a good idea. First, caffeine overdose is very rare. the fatal dose is thought to be about 10 grams of caffeine. Even with high caffeine coffee (about 200mg caffeine/cup), you’d have to drink 50 cups of coffee to get a fatal overdose. AND, that’s not likely, simply because caffeine has a half-life of about 7 hours, meaning 1/2 of the caffeine invested is out of the body after 7 hours. So you’re likely not drinking it fast enough to get a fatal dose.
    But, there are other side effects. High blood pressure, nervousness, depression, rapid breathing, there are a lot of not too pleasant effects of caffeine consumption over the recommended level of 400–600mg. So limit coffee intake to 4–6 cups a day.

  2. Fun Fact: One of the people who helped make the keurig would actually drink 30 to 40 cups of coffee in a day. It eventually led to caffeine poisoning. He didn’t die from it, but he did have to go to the emergency room and cut back on the coffee.

  3. I used to live way out in the desert where the local cable TV company offered college courses because so many of their customers were military personnel who were working on degrees to advance their carers. I loved going through these courses (my friends always said I was the only person they knew who read books for entertainment and watched TV for education).
    Anyway, I took a course which was offered by the University of Colorado on an overview of drugs and their effects.
    One of the topics they covered was caffeine and the fact that it was not only addictive but, in large quantities can cause psychotic effects, including hallucinating.
    I mentioned this to one of my friends, and he told me that one night he was staying up all night to study when he was working on his Master’s degree, and after about his eight cup in an hour he started seeing spiders climbing all over the wall.
    So, yes, if you drink 40 cups in a day, you’ll become agitated, feel more stressed and quite possibly experience psychotic effects up to and including having hallucinations.
