As I recall (someone with written facts feel free to jump in) one cup of coffee has about the same caffiene as a 6 pack of cola. It probably takes at least 4 cups of coffee per day to get a caffiene addiction. Anyone who consumes 24 cans of Pepsi per day must spend all their time visiting the restroom! I used to be considered a heavy consumer of Pepsi, and I went through a case a WEEK, not a case a DAY. My consumption was irregular, and I never noticed any signs of problems on days I went with no Pepsi.
