Hey everybody, Caffeine man here. Welcome to my debut video.
INTRO: C *THUD* M *THUD
*LIGHTNING STRIKE*
Hey everyone, thanks for joining me in my debut video. First I'd like to go over what you can expect
from my channel. If you're here based on the title and just want to know the average
caffeine count for a day, feel free to fast forward to the timestamp below (3:17) and that will take you there.
How many people just fast-forwarded? What? Those little....
Thanks for staying. Remember if you like what you hear feel free to hit the like

outtakes. So what's this channel gonna be about? Personally I drink a lot of energy
drinks but this channel isn't going to be just about energy drinks, otherwise I'd
name my channel energy drink man and that's just weird,
like some kind of sponsored superhero. In any case, my channel is gonna be about
all things caffeine related. There are so many things that have caffeine in them
that need to be discussed in my channel, primarily coffee.
According to a recent national study over 60% of Americans drink coffee every
day and 68 percent of those people drink more than one cup per day.
What makes coffee the highest rated drink out of all drinks? Some might say
it's the flavor, I say, "No! it's the caffeine." Caffeine is what people need to
start their day and keep them going throughout the day.
Therefore my channel will definitely have a lot of different videos based on
different kinds of coffee; Dunkin Donuts coffee, Starbucks coffee, Tim
Hortons, McDonald's, Keurig, for those of you who like to make your own coffees and much much more.
So what about tea?
I'm glad you asked. I was surprised by how
many people have so many misconceptions about tea on both sides of the spectrum.
I've heard some people say,
"Tea has so much more caffeine than coffee I don't know how you drink that stuff."
and other people say
"I don't know how you could drink tea. It doesn't have any caffeine in it. I need my caffeine in the morning."
The truth is depending on what kind of tea it is, black tea, green tea, white tea, they'll all have different
amounts of caffeine in them.
"What about Herbal Teas?"
Don't try and trick me. There isn't any caffeine in herbal teas and let's face it, is herbal tea really a tea?
To find out everything you need to know about tea I'll be doing a video on it.
So, what else? Well it's plenty to go over.
I'll definitely be going over energy drinks but I don't think that's gonna be a
shock to anybody but I also plan on doing product reviews. With Dunkin Donuts,
McDonald's, and Starbucks all coming out with new products on regular basis
there's going to be plenty of drinks to review but there are also so many other
products with caffeine in them that need to be discussed. Did you know there's
actually caffeine gum? That's right chewing gum. I know I'm excited about it,
you should be excited about it, I'm gonna do a video on it. Do you know what else
they've added caffeine to?
Water! That's right, water. Can you imagine waking up in the morning getting ready to make your
favorite Keurig coffee or whatever other coffee you make at home for yourself and
then making it with caffeinated water? Mind - Blown
On to the topic at hand. What is the average caffeine intake per person per day?
Various studies show that the average American intakes between 200 and 300 milligrams per day. It may sound a
little high to you, because it did sound a little high to me at first, but when
you actually look at the numbers it's not that high. According to the Mayo
Clinic, "Up to 400 milligrams of caffeine a day appears to be a safe amount for
healthy adults." and that's an exact quote because I can't be that proper. Now, even
though the Mayo Clinic says 400 is safe for most healthy adults, that's just a
baseline. There are a lot of other science-based
tests out there that go by different factors, such as how much you weigh.
Someone weighing 250 pounds will be able to handle more caffeine that someone
who weighs 175 pounds. If you want to know how much caffeine is safe based on your
weight, check down below. I'll include a link. It will take you to a caffeine safe
limit calculator. What's my safe limit? My safe limit for
the day is 640 milligrams. *Phew* I'm safe.
Please don't reverse engineer the numbers to find out how much I weigh.
I'm trying to lose a few pounds and I'm a little bit sensitive about it.
So how much caffeine does Caffeine Man have in a day? I usually have one energy drink per
day, okay maybe two, which are 75 milligrams each, which comes out to 150 total.
Add to that a cup of tea and a piece of caffeine gum and I'm at the 200 mark. On
days that I get a little crazy, I've been known to hit the 400 mark occasionally.
Yeah occasionally!
In all honesty every day is different. If I'm working a 50 hour work week my intake is going to be a lot higher.
I'll start off with a large iced coffee which has about 300 milligrams of caffeine in it, then
usually around lunch I'll have a 100 milligram caffeine pill, then at around
two o'clock maybe three o'clock I need to decide if I'm gonna have a 12 ounce
energy drink, which is 114 milligrams or if I'm gonna go with a 5-hour energy,
which has about 200 milligrams. Now, the 5-hour energy, it works! I plan on
doing a video about it. If I have the 5-hour energy drink that takes me to a
total of about 600 milligrams for the day. Now some of you may notice that I'm
only referencing Americans in my studies if you're not from America and watching
this video thanks for watching! Please understand
that this is just a starting point for me. I do plan on expanding out. Now
believe it or not, the United States is not one of the top countries consuming
coffee. We actually rank 25th in the world for our coffee consumption. First
place going to Finland, where they intake three times more per person per year
compared to Americans. Wow! Question of the day. What about you? How much caffeine
do you have per day? Let me know in the comments below, keeping in mind an average 8 ounce cup of
coffee has between 80 and 120 milligrams. If you want to get a better idea of how much caffeine you have in a
day, be sure to watch my video next Tuesday. I'm going to be doing an
in-depth video on all sorts of drinks and their caffeine content including coffee,
energy drinks, teas and much much more. It's going to be a very informative
video and I hope you can join me so that you can find out exactly how much caffeine you
intake per day. If you feel that you learned something today please feel free to hit the like button and to stay
informed on all things caffeine related, hit the subscribe button. I plan on doing
videos every Tuesday night. My videos are not sponsored, yet, but even if they were
I'd still want to give you my honest opinion because that's only fair to you.
*Off Camera* What's your tagline gonna be?
Tag lines are stupid.
*Off Camera* Everyone has one.

*Off Camera* No!
Little kisses for my caffeinated fishes *kiss kiss*
