TL;DR - Just How Dead is Hans Gretel [12/Dec/16]

I got distracted and ended up reading about energy drinks, human metabolism, caffeine overdoses, beer glasses and doing napkin maths for a few hours. This is what normal people do.

This is not a promotion of any kind, I just do things like this for fun every so often and thought I'd record it and see if other people find research and number crunching for the sake of it fun.

As a further though there are large Das Boots available at 92floz or 2721ml. If Hans were to fill one of those with 5 hour and drink that he'd be necking 47 bottles of 5 hour racking up 9400mg of caffeine, or 9.4 grams! Just under double the fatal limit.

The moral of the story is no matter what size boot you're planning to drink from, filling it with shot style energy drinks is a recipe for a trip to the hospital.
