    I usually have 2 coffees to 'wake up' before work and one to unwind after work, but I drink a load of water through the day.

    I would imagine that anything over 3 cups a day would start to affect your moods and sleep patterns.

    I think it's a bit of a stretch, but it's not terrible.

    It's not gonna kill you. At about 100 pounds, the average amount of espresso that could have the possibility to kill you is about 89 shots of it.

    Although depending on your tolerance to caffeine you may or may not experience restlessness more-so than others. I personally have an extremely high tolerance to caffeine and can't really gain much of an effect from it.

    Must've been some good espresso seeing as you downed 7 of them.

    Caffeine Overdose Symptoms: Facts and Fiction
    Caffeine There's a second page on this one that I almost missed.

    Caffeine can be more harmful than one might think, in larger doses. 7 espressos, depending on their size and caffeine content, as well as the time period over which you drank them all, among other factors, could contribute to negative effects, if any. If you keep an eye on yourself, though, you should be fine. Next time, I'd really recommend not drinking 7 espressos in one day. There are other ways to stay awake and/or energetic, and if that's the reason you drank that many, I'd recommend trying other changes in your life before resorting to that much caffeine.
