  Can’t find the Death by Caffeine site (or they changed it) any more, but this one says 5 Red Bulls max per day for a 175lb person.

    That seems right. The lethal dose of caffeine is 100mg per kilogram of bodyweight.

      Uh that math doesn’t checkout. I weight 90 kg

      There are ~110 mg Caffeine in Red Bull.

      I absolutely could not drink 81 Cans of Red Bull.

      Nope. The LD50 of caffeine is between 150 and 200 mg/kg of body weight. And that’s only going to kill half the prior who take it. LD50 is also for instantaneous intake, consumption over time drastically increases it.
