    Yeah. You'd have to drink an assload.

    I think you mean butt load. Assload is not a actual unit of measurement

    No, assload is a measurement. 1000 assloads are a metric F*ckton.

    No I don't believe this is accurate

    It upsets my stomach if I drink too much. For me that means more than four cups a day.

    Right. Gotta be more accurate.

    Auditory hallucinations from extreme amts of coffee are rare, but there are studies.

    Cool; what refs and what journal is it published in? I'd love to read up on it in my down time :)

    Honestly, I couldn't tell you. We studied it in my psyc class. I'm sure if you went to JSTOR or some other academic database you could find more information. I know it's hard to believe, but I very clearly remember studying the topic because I was in disbelief as well. ;)

    "Caffeine in coffee, tea, soda, and foods can also place a strain on your kidneys. Because caffeine is a stimulant, it can stimulate blood flow, increasing blood pressure and stress on the kidneys. A 2002 study in Kidney International showed that long-term caffeine consumption exacerbated chronic kidney failure in obese and diabetic rats. Caffeine consumption has also been linked to kidney stone formation by increasing calcium excretion in urine."

    A kidney specialist had me quit coffee as I have slightly 'compromised' kidneys. Sorry, there can be a downside.

    They're thinking of the UK "arseload" which is an acceptable UOM.

    2 cups everyday in the morning! Like a champ! I think drinking a can of SOda is 10X worse than drinking a nicely brewed cup OF black coffee....maybe a lilttle milk.

    The science on coffee seems to be an ever changing thing. One report says it's evil, then another comes out extolling the virtues.
    Coffee is one of those things that affects different people different ways. You can build up tolerances to the caffeine; I can drink it all day and never get the jitters or have trouble sleeping.
    But, your body can become addicted to the stuff. Withdrawal can be nasty and not just the headache. I had major surgery a few years ago. The day following surgery my surgeon was ordering another EKG and looking concerned. When I asked what was wrong, he said that since I had come out of anesthesia, my pulse was sitting at 150 and my blood pressure was through the roof (I don’t remember the BP number, I was on a morphine drip after all ) So, they ran the tests and all came back normal. Early the next morning the surgeon is back in my room. He asks me, “So how much coffee do you drink?” I told him, he ordered me a cup of coffee from the nurses’ station, and a half hour later everything was back to normal. Extreme caffeine withdrawal. And by the way, this happened in Seattle, the coffee capitol of the US.
    Since then, I have backed off the extreme amounts, so obviously too much of a good thing can be bad for you, but isn’t that always the case.

    Check out www.justbrewit.org.

    That coffee has ganoderma lucidum in it, good for you AND TASTY! Research the benefits of ganoderma lucidum.

    I beg to differ. Ganoderma coffee is NASTY. One of my coworkers tried to sell me some. I decided to be nice and try it. SHe was telling me all about the health benefits.

    NEWSFLASH! I don't drink coffee for the health benefits. I actually LOVE the taste of coffee. Except the ganoderma crap.

    It's nasty. Very very nasty. True coffee lovers...stay away.
