About 10 grams of caffeine or about 150 mg/kg can kill (via cardiac arrhythmias, electrolyte imbalances, cardiovascular collapse, seizures) about half the people who manage to consume this much (L50). For you coffee fiends out there, make that sure you don't overdo it. A cup of really good Joe can have 50-200 mg of caffeine. Here is a calculator that will help you to determine your potentially lethal dose (via the latte addicts at Fark.com).

The calculator says it would take about 100 cups of coffee to kill me! No worries.
