Caffeine Poisoning?!
Question: Hello. I've been very stupid. I bet my friend yesterday at 5pm that I could drink 10 cups of STRONG coffee, by 10pm. I ended up at 11. I haven't slept and I feel dizzy, lightheaded, have a headache, and nauseated feeling. Is there such a thing as caffeine poisoning? Any cures? Please help

Yes, there is such a thing as caffeine toxicity. No wonder you feel so bad. 11 cups, sorry but no bet on earth is worth drinking that much strong coffee! It could really mess with your cardiovascular system (ie: cause tachycardia-speeding up of your heart), make you severely dehydrated and give one heck of a migraine. I agree with the above poster, detox by drinking a lot of water! Don't be so silly next time...bet on something easier! Good luck and feel better!
You can OD on caffiene, but it would take a lot more than that. Drink lots of water to help flush it out of your system. You should start feeling normal soon, it will just take a while to get back to feeling okay. Stay away from caffiene for awhile, and stop taking stupid bets!
