One of Keurig's cofounders had caffeine poisoning after drinking like 30-40 cups a day back in like 1995.

He then, in 1997, got pushed out by the company, with no equity, and sold the patents to the company for $50,000.

Pretty rough

I drink coffee regularly, but I don't think I could even get to 15 cups a day without serious issues.

Dave Grohl, of the Foo Fighters, ended up going to the hospital because of drinking too much coffee/caffeine.

My stomach would give out before the rest of me.
