I was looking this morning for packets of energy drink mixes with caffeine to send another gatherer, Mike B. who's deployed right now, piloting a bucket of bolts we fondly call the Herk.
Along my internet journey this morning I ran across a website that asked?
How Much Of Your Favorite Beverage Would It Take To Kill You? -- here's the link below, it's quick, easy, and fatal. Report back to me and tell me how many Starbucks Mocha's or Diet Pepsi's it would take to put you six feet under...it's pretty cool.
(Not cool that you'd be dead - just cool in general!;-)

Coffee contains 3 methylxanthines that are harmful: caffiene, thiobromine (not the element bromine, but from the latin name of the cocoa plant, theobroma Cacao), and theophyllin (used as a medication for COPD).
It's the theobromine that is toxic to pets (yes, chocolate is loaded with this).
They didn't make it clear the time period on this - a day, a month, a year, a lifetime?
I sleep between 5 and 9 hours a night. I work hard. I have no wrinkles. I drink LOTS of water and juice and eat a ton of fruit.
Time for my afternoon run.
I will check the link later.
Caffeine wakes me up but otherwise I am immune. I have no palpitations or other ill effects.
I just wanted to say I am finally going through my currently over 6,500 pieces of gather new mail that is in my inbox on here. So with that in mind I have finally come to a piece of mail that was addressed to me in regards this article submission you have created to share with the gather community. Thank you for taking the time and sharing your piece with us here at gather. :o)
