People should avoid taking much caffeine when it is being used as an over-the-counter drug and should consider how much caffeine is being taken in from coffee, tea, chocolate, soft drinks, and other foods that contain caffeine.

How does too much caffeine in a day kill a person?

Caffeine increases your blood pressure and heart rate. It stimulates the cardiovascular system. If too much caffeine is present, it can stimulate the heart to the point of ventricular fibrillation, which can lead to rapid cardiac arrest and death. It is very difficult to overdose on caffeine using coffee, but caffeine pills are easy to overdose on and deaths have been reported from caffeine pills. They should be used with caution. One or two of the average caffeine pill should be enough for most people to get a coffee-like buzz.

How much caffeine in decaf?

Decaf can contain anywhere from less than 1% to about 3% of the caffeine of caffeinated coffee. This is because it is easy to get most of the caffeine out, but very tedious to get just about all of it out. This amount of caffeine should not have an effect on people, however.
