Up to 3 diet pepsis a day, 5 days a week, and still wanting more. What's the maximum number you can drink without suffering such effects from the caffeine as to be able to fly home without wings, or spend the whole of the night wide awake?

I drink two cokes a day. It's an expensive habit unless you buy from the Pound shop where you can buy two cans for <drum roll> £1.
They've also started selling tooth picks, those expensive hairy wire ones, 4 for £1.Comment

I do a couple of 1.5L bottles of diet coke a week. I can't imagine what it's doing to my innards.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

Here is a list of all caffeine content in Milligrams to give you an idea.
Health site says....
Increasing the amount of caffeine you take in over 300 mg per day may give you "caffeine jitters." Larger amounts of caffeine may make you irritable, sleepless and may even trigger anxiety and cause diarrhea.

Originally posted by SueEllen View PostUnless you also more than 2 cups of filter coffee or red bulls per day as well then don't worry about getting the shakes. Worry instead about your teeth eroding due to the acid in the pepsi......
It didn't keep me awake at night but ruined my teeth; I now have about 12 fillings and two root canals. I then gave it all up, moved on to fresh orange juice which ruined my front teeth. I've spent a lot at the dentist.
I drink more than 2 cups of coffee 2 to 3 days a week. It does make me feel ill and anxious at times. Have to stop it.Comment
