How much caffeine is too much?

This is really not the right question to ask, the right question to ask is, how much caffeine should you consume to get the most out of your day? I've come up with a formula to help:

# of hours of sleep the night before 1-10 =S in formula ((((S*0.1)-1))*-1000)
Caffeine tolerance on a scale from 1-5 (highest) = TX100 milligrams
Body Mass Index # = BX5
Mood Ring Color (green = 10, Blue = 50 Black =100)

So the equation looks like ((((S*0.1)-1))*-1000)+TX50+Bx10+MRC / 2

Lets put the equation into practice.

Last night I slept 6 hours = 400
I have high tolerance. 5X100 or 500
BMI=23X5 or 115
Mood today is blue, or 50.

1065/2 or 532.5. Check my math, I've not had enough coffee yet.

Anyway, that means I need 532.5 milligrams today to be my best. That's 5 espresso shots, 3-5 cups of drip coffee or almost 10 Mountains Dews.

I hope this helps everyone.

Caffeine is good.

The point is, ladies and gentleman, that caffeine -- for lack of a better word -- is good.
Caffeine is right.
Caffeine works.
Caffeine clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit.
Caffeine, in all of its forms -- for life, for money, for love, knowledge -- has marked the upward surge of mankind.

Ok, so I lifted a little Geikko for my opening blog post. I felt it appropriate today as Starbuck's stock fell under a dark cloud.

This site is going to be about those of us on this planet that have almost a religious devotion to caffeine. Who upon waking, cannot think of anything else. Who have such a high addiction level that a triple espresso doesn't even cause a palpatation. Those of us who know every Starbucks, Tully's, Peats, Dunkin's or Carabou in every city. Those of us who thrive on caffeine to get just a little more out of our daily experience. Those of us who live deep, and suck the marrow out of life, with the help of a latte.
