Evidently drinking seven double espressos isn't all that good for you. Just ask Jasmine Wills, a teenager who was taken to the hospital after overdosing on 14 shots of espresso coffee.In her defense, she thought the cups of coffee were only single doses -- even then seven cups of espresso is probably too much for anybody to handle. I can easily get the shakes after one shot of espresso, I can't imaging what she was feeling after 14!
Yes, coffee really can be good for you, but even still -- as with anything -- you shouldn't overdo it. Researchers at Duke University found that drinking five cups of coffee a day (not even espresso, just regular coffee) could raise your blood pressure enough to increase the risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke. Let's not forget: Caffeine -- as mild as it is -- is still classified as a drug.
