It may be possible. Of course I am not going to try doing it but you are free to try. I would carry a potty around with you though. Excess fluids can play havoc with you bladder.

It's possible I think. But you have to drink a cup every 8,4 min, if you're awake about 14 hours a day (on the other hand, who is going to sleep after 100 cups of coffee?). Another point, not exactly on this topic: After watching "Fry and the Slurm Factory" it came to my mind that Fry said he drank about 100 cans of cola a week and that his heavy drinking is nothing, but looking at all the Slurm cans lying there he's way over 100 cans a day!

Most likely.
Anyway, I'm sure that it's possible, but why would you want to? There are way too many problems with it. The biggest is the fact that you'd go on some kind of caffeine over-drive. And the bladder thing.
Of course, if you didn't drink non-stop, then you could probably do it. Like drink 4 cups every hour for 22 hours, then 2 cups for the last two hours.

Originally posted by sheep555: Now here's the deal - caffeine is toxic: 10g of caffeine will kill you. Nitpick: The LDLO (lowest reported lethal intake) of caffeine in humans is 192 mg/kg which translates into 14.4 grams in an average 75 kg man. Also, caffeine has a half-life in the body of about 4 hours, so the caffeine level in the body would never really exceed about 4 g. Of course, it would still be highly unhealthy to consume 12 grams of caffeine over a 24 hour period.

Originally posted by sheep555: I went with 65kg (my weight, and I'm above average height), and then rounded to the nearest five And I used my weight. Which seems reasonable for Fry as well. In any case, I think you'd get very sick and unable to drink more before you'd die from caffeine overdosis at the intake rate we're dealing with here.
