While some drugs, like weed and a rare few others wont really have any bad effects if you have a bit too much. Worst thing that will happen is that you'll pass out and then wake up a few hours later.

With other shit, if you don't understand dosages, don't fucking touch it.
If you can't take 2 seconds to read the labeling, don't fucking touch it
If you are too lazy to down your own research on the matter and learn about the effects, don't fucking touch it.

He took AT LEAST 5 grams of caffeine at once (so really about 50/100 caffeine tablets at once, depending on strength), if perhaps even more.
As it is, having 700+ milligrams of caffeine in a 24 hour period (probably around 7 cups of coffee) is probably not the healthiest thing in the world (probably could induce some degree of anxiety, interfere with good quality/length of sleep etc), but goddamn, surely you'd just stop and think for 2 SECONDS that shoving some pure caffeine down like that, might be, you know, dangerous?

There is no need for alert, because chances are, if your IQ is over 90, you wont be so stupid as to ingest so much caffeine at once.
And now, because of fucktards like this, substances that are quite safe to use if you have at least an IQ of 90, you'll start getting assholes campaigning for the ban of sale. Just fuck off campaigners, and let the idiots find out for themselves what they're really dealing in the future when they decide to fuck with shit they don't understand.
 
"It is a tragic accident, not suspicious - he wasn't doing anything wrong, it was just the danger of the dose he took.

This pretty much sums up the retardness in that article

it is obvious he WAS doing something wrong. Sure, glue is also freely available on the internet, but the first time a GROWN MAN dies cause he felt like mixing glue with his energy drink they're gonna make it illegal? How about making high buildings illegal, for we must raise awareness of the fact that if you fall off a high building you will die.

Seriously, he just felt like adding that to his drink? Without even caring to know if it's too much? He just thought "the more the better" right? Have sex 13 times a day and then we'll make sure to "raise awareness on the dangers of excessive sex" because it can be dangerous, even though it's so freely available on the street
 
One said he had seen him take spoonfuls of white powder and wash it down with an energy drink

It wasn't just the spoonfuls of caffeine then.... there is shitloads of bad stuff in those energy drinks that are common these days.
 
Not sure how this can be classified as an 'accident'. An accident is if 2 teaspoons of caffeine powder somehow managed to fall into his energy drink by chance before he consumed it. This sounds like it was either showing off or sheer stupidity.
 
I keep saying to people that Caffeine's a fucking POWERFUL drug and nobody ever listens to me.
I don't drink coffee much anymore. One cup and I end up feeling quite wasted and weird.

Done something similar many times around 15-16 or so. LETS EAT A BUNCH OF CAFFEINE PILLS "YEAHH!" and then spend the rest of the day shaking and feeling violently fucking ill.
Yeah, caffeine's a nasty one IMO.
 
Caffeine can be good in small doses. It stimulates the central nervous system and allows greater concentration/focus, but if you overdo the shit, as most people do, the negative effects soon overshadow the small benefit it has.
