"Drinking too much coffee causes hallucinations"

Apparently if you drink 7 cups of instant coffee in a day you are more likely to hallucinate (as well as being off your face on caffeine) than if you only drunk one. Makes me glad I'm a tea drinker...

Just have an intensely traumatic experience instead =]

I'd have thought it'd be linked to dopamine too, considering it releases a hell of a lot of it, it seems

I'm in the 3%, you get used to it

I think that is interesting, although if you drink that many cups of brandy, the hallucinations are much more entertaining.

In the Metro, its that or somethig like 16 cups of weak tea, 7 of strong brewed tea, 3 Red Bulls, 31/2 caffeine pills or a partridge in a pear tree that will have the same effect.

I wonder if the students they tested this had their spliff in theirmouths throughout the duration of this test, or just popped it near the end?

Have a little bit of of LSD instead of loads of excess coffee.

It's more economic.

I hate news stories like this. Everyone knows that if you drink 'too much', bad things are going to happen because drinking 'too much' is drinking to an excess. Drinking too much water will kill you.
