this cannot be any good for you whatsoever, Kyle. Stop that.

How do you drink 12 shots of espresso and NOT have a heart attack?

 

[kwilkinson]

You get used to it, I guess. Started off with hitting doubleshot twice, then that faded, started hitting it four times, that faded, now I hit it 6 times.
I drink that for most of the morning, though. Over 3-4 hours.

was that 12 shot latte a joke?

Coffee is the gateway drug to Meth, Kyle.

I've never had an energy drink do **** for me. Massive amounts of caffeine will get my legs jittery, but I don't feel energized.

On a slow night bartending, my friend Brenna and I were doing shots of the FRS energy drink Lance Armstrong endorses. You're supposed to mix 2oz with 8oz water - but it tastes and smells like ripe ass, so we just did it as shots. We killed a bottle and a half (10-12 shots apiece) - I felt nothing, she couldn't sleep until well after dawn.

No, I put 6 double shots into one latte. And just drink that over the course of several hours.

Jesus christ dude. How much milk do you add? I presume you change the proportions.

That is a lot of coffee. It might be safer to try less of something stronger, as TS already suggested.

Unless he has an arrhythmia, thyroid problem, hypertension, ulcer, anxiety, or some other medical problem that much caffeine is not really a bad thing.

It's not really a good thing either in the long term. I'd advise trying to get more sleep rather than using a crutch to get through the day.
