Woman Dies After Drinking Gallons Of Coca-Cola

i just don't understand how they thought this was ok. i mean, if you're drinking 10 liters of anything per day you should know that something is wrong. i also don't really understand caffeine addiction, it's caffeine?

You don't hear about it that much because anyone who is a caffeine addict (e.g. the people lined up around at Dunkin Donuts every morning) usually continue with their habit and don't usually suffer from WD symptoms because caffeine is so easy to obtain through a variety of drinks or OTC pills. If they were to suddenly stop getting their daily coffee or whatnot, they'd most likely experience headaches, fatigue, and difficulty focusing.

I don't think it should have "warning signs" but the notion is not that ridiculous. I think that when a consumable product contains a drug it should be listed as such (indeed it is in some places, as well as the sale of high-caffeine content drinks being restricted to people above a certain age, which they should be). It would be no different from the rest of the information on the label about what you're consuming. Of course an actual "don't do it!!!!" warning like on tobacco products would be stupid.

I agree with this. Caffeine should be labelled as a medicine, if we are to be consistent / logical. There is no one pushing for this though, obviously, as the industries that thrive on this drug being labelled as a food want to keep the status quo.

I think the sugar/potassium deficiency is more-so to blame for a heart attack than the caffeine.

ya cause im drinking coke just as much as i do water. I drink prob. 3 to 4 12 oz cans of coke per day, throughout the day. However, i also drink just as much water. Damn, i thought 48 ounces of coke was alot but thats not even a gallon! This chick must have lived on the toilet, but with a kegorator in the shower with a coke tap..and one that says pepsi, but with masking tape that says Out Of Order on it.


edit: but god i really do love coca cola. Pepsi sucks a truckload of dicks. Anyone ever noticed that pepsi goes flat within 2 hours of opening it, no matter how much you drink, or keep it refrigerated? Seriously. Do an experiment. Since my sleep schedule is fucked up (fucking coke!) ill open a coke at say, 1am and still be able to pick up that half empty can of coke at 11 am the next morning and it still be ok. Pepsi is dead within a couple hours. Go profitable corporate addictions!
