    I’m pretty sure 36 cans of Red Bull would kill you. Humans can’t handle that much caffeine.

      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.

          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.

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

          There is ~110 mg Caffeine in Red Bull.

          I think I would die long before I got anywhere near 80 cans of Red Bull.
