 Re: The Lounge
The U.S. average is around 3-4 cups a day. I don't think ten cups is a passion.

 Re: The Lounge
I read somewhere that 200 people die from caffeine overdose every year. But checking that now it appears that while death from caffeine overdose has been reported and verified it isn't super common. So you probably won't drop dead but it will certainly do a number on your internal organs.

I'm a soda addict, but I never pass over 300, as I'd have to have more than eight cans in a day.

 Re: The Lounge
I used to have like, two packs of instant noodles a day. That's somewhere on the order of 200% of my daily value of sodium. I actually got told I had high blood pressure a couple years back (at the ripe young age of 15), which is when I pretty much quit eating ramen. I started exercising then too, and now I'm a lot healthier.
tl;dr too much of an okay thing is a really really bad thing
Non pls

If you die from caffeine overdose, you're either someone with a SERIOUS problem and you're chugging ridiculous amounts of coffee, or you're one of those ♥♥♥♥ who order caffeine, in powder form, and then eat that.

 Re: The Lounge
Or you could be like me. First time I drank some coffee, parts of my limbs started going numb and my heart rate plummeted and I nearly passed out.

 Re: The Lounge
Well, the LD50 (dose required to kill 50% of a population of test subjects on average) is pretty high for caffeine so I kinda doubt that Non's gonna get there (unless he increases his consumption to ~80 cups a day). Reading up on that article more, seems like sustained consumption of caffeine isn't a huge problem, short term spikes in consumption are what cause heart abnormalities.

 Re: The Lounge
I have an addiction to checking the sockets in my house. My right arm starts tingling if I don't do it at least three times a day. So I end up walking round the interior of my house checking every socket and pushing them further into the wall.

 Re: The Lounge
I'm moving today. Which means I take my stuff in one trip, and then spend the rest of the day carting all the ♥♥♥♥ the rest of my family has. Fun Edit: [spoiler]Might be having a panic attack? Suddenly nauseous, stomach hurts and feel weak. Sort of jittery. Not entirely sure why, this hasn't happened before.[/spoiler]

I mean I don't start feeling worried or anything, my right arm just tingles slightly and it's only moderately annoying. I've actually been managing to just plough through it recently.

 Re: The Lounge
I've never had any life changing experience due to any of my vices. A few rotting teeth maybe... but no diabetes or lung disease or nothing. I don't want to jinx it though. Hey maybe its because I smoked rolling tobacco and not chemical cigs. I'm probs going back to it when I turn 18. I'll be getting my marijuana license too. If anyone needs "anxiety" "medication", it's me. I don't talk about it much, but I have a mentally abusive mom.
