One day at work I literally had the thought that I should make another cup of coffee to calm my nerves before a presentation. Then I thought about how dumb that is, and did it anyways.

I always drink enough coffee so that my anxiety turns into existential dread.
For those interested, enough caffeine to kill a horse is greater than that for a human. This is assumed to be true, but here are some sources.
A fatal dose for an average adult is about 10g.

This source investigated caffeine intoxication of horses. There were days where the horses consumed more than 10g, they had symptoms that were alleviated once their source of caffeine was removed.

As of like a week ago caffeine has started making me extremely wired and restless. I don't know what happened, I just cannot handle the same amounts I used to take just 2 weeks ago. Which sucks because that's how I had enough energy after work.
