Alcohol isn’t the only thing you can pour in your cup that may lead to dangerous consequences. Too much caffeine, especially from coffee, can lead to serious side effects including chest pains, trouble breathing, and even convulsions.

Benefits of caffeine are still being discovered and when consumed in moderation, coffee (the second most consumed beverage in the world), can be a source of valuable antioxidants.

While a little caffeine may help you be more productive and give you some additional energy, it’s important to remember that caffeine is indeed a drug. It’s considered a stimulant as part of the methylxanthine class of psychoactive drugs and will stay in your system for up to six hours. Like all drugs, consumption should be done with awareness. It’s important to know when you’ve had too much.
