That's really sad about your family member dying from a caffeine overdose. I used to drink so much coffee as a teenager that what your family member consumed doesn't even seem like that much in comparison.
I imagine I also missed a bullet a few time during my college years with my alcohol consumption. I can remember some of the hangovers. :( never again.
Having Jose Cuervo and Jim Beam as good friends when I was younger, I'm sure I dodged a few bullets too. Black out drunk has to be pretty close right?
