That's one and a half cups of espresso. Insane amounts of caffeine, borderline lethal.

TIL a double espresso is deadly

Usually caffeine poisoning symptoms start at about 500mg, but borderline lethal is in the ballpark of several grams in couple hours. Basically every known case of caffeine poisoning is from pure caffeine or caffeine pills etc.

I was making a joke.

Two double espresso would put you at somewhere between 400mg and 800mg of caffeine. Half of Italy would just be living in a hospital full time.

Caffeine poisoning starting at 500mg is the same as alcohol poisoning starting when you feel nauseated.

According to your link, toxic dose is >10g/day and not 1g

Toxic doses, over 10 grams per day for an adult, greatly exceed the typical dose of under 500 milligrams per day.

Also, >500mg/day will not send you to the hospital...sincerely me, drinking 3-4 double espresso (that's ~150mg/cup) before lunch at work. Healthy? No doubt it isn't...but also very far from lethal.
