I would and I used to drink like 6-8 cups of coffee a day (along with 4+ 16oz glasses of water), but I stopped. I'll probably get back into, but for the last few years I've been preoccupied with opiates before any other drugs, but now being clean I think I might get back into coffee.

On a related note, it's crazy how big of a difference tolerance makes. I haven't drank much caffeine at all in the last few months, and when I finally had some coffee the other day, two small 8 oz cups was enough to have me wired for hours, with heart palpitations, tons of energy, sweat covering my face and body, and goose bumps all over at the same time. With such a low tolerance, I imagine 8-10 espressos, or roughly 3 large Americanos, could literally kill me (under favorable circumstances, that is).

I used to drink 10 cups a day back in high school. I would wake up at 4am and brew myself 8 cups. I would drink 2 of those before my morning shit. I would drink another 4 before I went to the gym. I would get to the gym and take another shit. I would lift (starting strength) for an hour. Then I showered and got back home. I drink two more cups of coffee and an 600kcal oat shake. I take another shit. I am telling the truth btw. Then I drink another oat shake. I get to school. The pump is unbelievable. I flex my fatceps during morning english class. I try not to sweat, I am so fat, from merely writing a paper. Lunch time. Another 2 cups of coffee from the vending machine in the 'trojan room'. I cut it with water so I can drink it faster. I piss and take another, very long, very wet shit. I get to my 5th hour math class late. The teacher is used to this. She tells me off for being late one too many times but I say no, "No talkie, until I've had my coffee". Okay the last sentence is fake but the rest is real.

>cigs

overall these will only accelerate cognitive decline. nicotine itself is safe and might actually stave off neurological disorders, but the thousands of other chemicals its laced with in cigs neutralize these benefits. i suggest you just chew nicotine gum or wear a patch.

I'm aware. However, LD50's for drugs are notoriously inaccurate and sensitive to the peculiarities of experimental and laboratory variables. If you look up the lethal does of heroin or cocaine for an adult human, I wouldn't be surprised if you found something like 200 mg and 500mg, respectively, but I can guarantee you that a 50 mg shot of pure heroin or a 100 mg shot of pure coke could potentially kill someone with no tolerance.

I drank so much coffee once that my heart was having major palpitations, then I had a panic attack and called 911. They found me with my shoes off freaking out, took my blood pressure, told me I was fine and sent my insurance a thousand dollar bill.

because the doses of nicotine in cigs are way higher and the effects more immediate due to inhalation. it's also partially why cigarettes are so addictive while nicotine gum isnt very (the other chemicals in cigarettes have also been shown to make them more addictive).
