What would you be working on?
I recommend:
Jolt Cola (If you can find any)
Code Red or self-made Shirley Temples are great
Pina Coladas (Not-so-virgin)
Homemade Espresso or Cappuchino
Coke or Vanilla Coke does the job

Enjoy!

would alcohol make him more tired.... unless it was alcoholic coffee. I prefer cappucinos.
I recommend try makin your own drinks that might keep you awake, if it tastes disgusting then you wont be able to sleep.

tip: put the sugar and creamer in the coffee filter to save effort later

tip#2: dont put lemonade in coffee!!

Have you tried Jolt Espresso yet? It tastes like Jolt mixed with coffee (which is a bizarrely painful taste), but it has more caffeine than almost anything out there.

A little Q&A

Q: Is a caffeine overdose possible?
A: Yes, it is and it usually results from a recent consuption of about 350 mg +.

Q: What are some warning signs of a caffeine overdose?
A: People sufering from caffeine overdose can be identified with at least five of the following signs: restlessess, nervousness, excitement, insomnia, flushed face, diuresis, gastrointestinal disturbance, muscle twitching, rambling flow of thought and speech, tachycardia or cardiac arrythmia, periods of exhaustability, and psychomotor agitation.
Q: Is caffeine overdose permanently damaging or fatal?
A: In 99.999% of all cases, the caffeine overdose will be extremely unpleaseant to the suffering party, but not fatal or permanently damaging. However, there is that small area of exception:

Q: How much caffeine could be fatal?
A: The LD-50 (lethal dosage that would kill approximately 50% of the population) is 10 grams of oral administration. This is equivalent to approximately 100 cups of coffee, or 50 Vivarin pills. One exceptional case documented survival after ingesting 24 grams of caffeine. The minimum lethal dose of caffeine given intravenously was 3.2 grams. While coffee drinkers often have caffeine blood concentration of about 1-10 mg/L, a concentration of 80 mg/L is considered lethal.

Q: What are the symptoms of a lethal overdose?
A: Acute caffeine poisoning- anorexia, trermor, and restlessness, followed by vomiting, nausea, tachycardia, and confusion. Serious intoxication causes causes delirium, seizures, supraventricular and ventricular thachyarryhtmias, hypkalemia, and hyperglycemia.
Chronic high dose caffeine poisoning leads to nervousness, irritability, anxiety, tremulousness, muscle twitching, insomnia, palpitations, and hyperflexia.

Enjoy!

think back to early science class, remember those things called box and whisker plots, ld/50 = middle

your non tolerant butt might fall in the ld/25....

 after 8 grams of caffiene, it will feel like shit. might as well go buy some hard drugs for what you would probably want to feel like after taking that much caff. cuase at 1.5 grams, it doesn't feel better then 1.2 grams, it feels more extreme, like the side effects are worse.

now, what i have read in a book on prescription drugs and their affects, marijuana and caffiene increase each others effects, or is this bullshit, cuase iv never tried it

it looks like we shall have to conduct some 'experiments' to see if this is true.

I would have to drink 17-18 12 Oz cups of Iced Tea to get to 1.2 grams. Or 34 cans of Cola (most types)...damn...how quick do I have to drink them.

I'd use Long Island Iced Tea, but I don't feel like passing out   :D

12.07 litres is a hell of a lot of coke, buts its not impossible to drink it all at once considering the human body can hold about 8 Gallons before physically (And literally) bursting. 12.07 litres being around 3 gallons this would not cause you to burst but may cause a great deal of discomfort

no no no no you have it all wrong...


it only takes one can of ginger ale to get 1.2 grams, you just need 6 viverians, and use the ginger ale as a chaser after chewing the caffiene pills, cuase caff tastes like shit. and you can get a 40 pill bottle of viverian for like 7 or so bucks

Huh? Canada dry only gives you 30 mg.

if it was 1.2 grams per ginger ale, then you could die form 9 cans.
