What Would It Take to Kill Me?

For those folks, including my husband, who've been concerned about the two Rock Stars I drink on nights I work overnights, you can MAYBE lay your fears for my death-defying drinking habits aside. 

Here's the scoop on just how many energy drinks (since 2003 when ephedra was outlawed and therefore removed) I would have to shotgun to kill me:

Rock Star, Full Throttle, Jolt:  95+ cans

Coffee:  120+ cups

Mountain Dew, Pibb Xtra, Wild Cherry Pepsi, Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper: 300+ cans

Everybody feeling safer for me?  I know I am.

EDIT:  Just for Deborah, of Play With Food, I have one more Death-by-Caffeine fact to add:

It would take over 1,000 Hershey's Kisses to kill me.  What a way to go!

185 cans of Mt. Dew here. Or 104 Grande Lattes. Thanks for the confirmation that my caffeine habit's not going to kill me. :)

That is fun! Well, it's usually fun coming here.

You are lucky! While I'm sure a ton wouldn't kill me, I have nearly zero tolerance for caffeine. However, it makes for a really interesting overnight car ride with me.

Dolores--Hehe Exactly! The only thing people really need to watch for is if they start having palpitations. If your heart starts racing, it's time to put down the coffee cup. :-)

Tanna--Thanks! I'm a smartass trying to please. :-)

Jane--Oh I bet you are way fun with a little caffeine! I will say I have to drink my second Rock Star by 1am or I'm up until 6pm the next evening which makes Gene a little nervous.

I would have to consume more than 200 cups of instant coffee. I cannot fathom having more than four in any one day.

Neat idea for a post, Glenna. Sorry I have not visited lately.

I assume that doesn't mean drinking it all without bathroom breaks....

What I need to know is how much chocolate or cheese curls it would take to kill me!
