How Much Is Too Much Coffee ?

I'm planning to pull an all-nighter because I have things I really need to get done today. I mean it's Friday but I'll be busy for the weekend so it's crucial that I finish it all tonight.

So I got home around 11 and I've started on my assignments, it's roughly a quarter to 1am now and I just realise that I've already drank 7 cups of coffee. I have a pretty high caffeine tolerance and so far I've only just started feeling the effects, normally when I pull all-nighters, I don't drink more than 5 cups but tonight I just seem to be chugging them down.

The thing is, I'll be drinking for another 6-7 hours till morning and I need to start slowing down or I think I'm going to collapse before I even get to 3am.

How many cups is too many ? Google keeps giving me answers in mg but I don't know how much caffeine is in one cup.

I think I'm going to take a small water break because my hands were shaking while typing this.

You're not going to kill yourself by ingesting coffee. You'd have to take straight caffeine in pill form or whatever to near overdose levels. Your body can handle a LOT.

Frankly, pacing yourself (which you're too late to do) would make more sense. You don't need 7 cups of coffee in two hours. You need a cup of coffee every two hours to stay awake. Too jmuch caffeine makes it hard to concentrate.

You're gonna crash out soon but you can avoid it by increasing the room temperature and exercising, I think that's too much of coffee but it depends on your tolerance

I think you should only have a cup or 2 a day maximum. Anything above is too much.
