How many mg's of caffeine to cause death?

  1. So out of curiosity does anyone by chance know how many mg of caffeine it takes for someone to die? I found a sight that says how many of each drink is needed to kill, pretty interesting if anyone cares. I have been working a ton so today I drank 7 Amp Energy shots, which have about 180 mg in them each.

    Death by Caffeine

    So does anyone know how many mg's will cause death? By my calculations it takes about 12,000mg to kill someone that weighs about 180 lbs. I guess that's pretty unrealistic dose to actually take lol.
