You should look closer at the risks of caffeine. Someone was in the news dying from an accidental ingestion of a large dose just a few days ago. And there’s been some evidence for a while now that high doses of caffeine in energy drinks can lead to delusional behavior.

The difference between chewing a pound of coca leaf and snorting a pound of cocaine is also pretty stark. The dose makes the poison.

You can die from drinking too much water. Dosage makes the poison as the sibling comment said.

How dangerous could caffeine be anyway?

Surely in the case of nuclear war it would never be found in the urinalysis of the one that started it.

Coffee is not just caffeine, it contains many other psychoactive chemicals and some of them like to stay in brain fatty tissues for extended periods of time.
