Once had 11 glasses of ice tea throughout the day. The next day I was hyped up, vomiting, nauseous, and my heart was just in pain. Totally agree. Once had 11 glasses of ice tea throughout the day.

Let's just say he avoids caffeine. I ran into a patient once who claimed he managed to go into documented atrial fibrillation after one cup of coffee. Middle-aged, otherwise healthy.
