The Coffee Fix

Everybody loves coffee. From the day Juan Valdez planted the very first coffee bean, to the present incarnation of corporate factory coffee, the world has been in love. There is nothing like the feeling of the thick black liquid flowing in your blood, focusing your mind like a laser beam, and releasing your primal urge to talk really fast. All of human civilization has been leading up to this point; the ability to harness the inner power of the coffee bean for the good of mankind.

Too much of a good thing?

According to the book The World of Caffeine, by Bennett Weinberg and Bonnie Bealer, there is a condition called caffeine intoxication. This occurs with the consumption of more than 250 mg of caffeine at one time (more than 2-3 cups of brewed coffee).

The following are common signs of caffeine intoxication:
1) restlessness
2) nervousness
3) excitement
4) insomnia
5) flushed face
6) muscle twitching
7) rambling flow of thought and speech
8) tachycardia or cardiac arrhythmia
9) periods of inexhaustibility
10) psychomoter agitation

If you are not exhibiting 5 or more of these symptoms, it means you are not drinking enough coffee.
