Caffeine contents in various drinks<\/a>.  And another table<\/a> showing much the same. <\/p>\n

From the first article, some fun facts: <\/p>\n

\n

# Caffeine is similar in structure to adenosine, a chemical found in the brain that slows down its activity. Since the two compete, the more caffeine you drink, the less adenosine is available up to a point. That\u2019s why caffeine temporarily heightens concentration and wards off fatigue. <\/p>\n

# Within 30 to 60 minutes of drinking a cup of coffee, caffeine reaches peak concentrations in the bloodstream. It typically takes four to six hours for its effects to wear off. <\/p>\n

# Smokers remove caffeine from their blood twice as fast as nonsmokers. That may be why smokers tend to drink more coffee. <\/p>\n

# The average American adult consumes about 200 milligrams (mg) of caffeine a day, and the top ten percent consume an average of 400 mg, according to John J. Barone, who tracks caffeine consumption at The Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta. <\/p>\n

# As little as 200 mg of caffeine is enough to make some people feel nervous and anxious. It might take even less for cola-guzzling kids. <\/p>\n

# The typical American drinks about two cups of coffee a day. In 1962, when coffee consumption hit its peak, three cups was typical.<\/p>\n

# Coffee accounts for about \u00be of the caffeine we consume. Tea makes up about 15 percent, soft drinks about ten percent, and chocolate about two percent. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

For the record, a grande (16 oz.) Starbucks contains 550mg, the same as 2\u00bd maximum strength No-Doz, or just under 10 12-oz. cans of Coke.<\/p>\n

For the record, I drink 4-5 cups of coffee a day, which works out the same as one of those grandes.<\/p>\n

How much coffee would you have to drink to kill yourself from caffeine poisoning?  Find out<\/a>.<\/p>\n
