"EspressoOverdose" news and stories

Accidental espresso overdose

I've always known that consuming caffeine to excess was not a particularly good idea. I've had days when after three and four cups (this mostly happens when I'm at events where they are offering free coffee, I never actually make this much for myself at home), I feel uncomfortable in my own skin and ready to do just about anything rid my system of the coffee and replace the stomach lining I've destroyed.

A teenage girl in England recently took caffeine consumption to an entirely new level, sending herself to the hospital with a fever and difficulty breathing after drinking seven double espressos at her family's sandwich shop in Stanley, County Durham. She has recovered completely and says that she now can't stand the sight of coffee.
