800 colas of caffeine is easily enough to kill you. 34mg caffeine/12oz Coca Cola * 800 cans = 27g. LD50 in humans is 150-200mg/kg, so 12-16g for a 80kg adult.

- appleflaxen 11y agoYou seem like you are knowledgeable about these things... how do they measure the LD50 in humans?
- ChristianBundy 11y agoWe kill mice, rats, hamsters, rabbits, and dogs with caffeine, and extrapolate the LD50 from our test data. Animal testing can be really awful.
- Wingman4l7 11y agoThe alternative is not knowing the LD50 of caffeine for humans.
