How much coffee is too much, like in one day? And if you drink a lot, will it do damage to you?

Aside from the fact that coffee gives you a perk, it is also diuretic. To much of it would then cause loss of minerals in the body though urination.
When you feel nauseous, dizzy and disoriented after several cups of coffee, then you've had too much.
A cup or two would be enough for a day.

Up to 4 cups per day is considered okay. Pregnant women could risk low birthweight to their child or even miscarry if exceed recommended limit.
However, same as with all foods or drinks - take within moderation.
As caffeine is found in other products, this list is taken from the attached website: The 300 mg daily limit (or average of 4 cups per day) roughly equals:
4 average cups or 3 average size mugs of instant coffee
3 average cups of brewed coffee
6 average cups of tea
8 cans of regular cola drinks
4 cans of "energy" drinks
400 grams (8 standard 50 g bars) of normal chocolate

Too much of anything is too much, just depends on the person. I make a rule of not drinking coffee after 12, maybe a cup of tea or water,lots of water. You mught be the kind of person who thinks nothing of drinking lots of fizzy drinks?

i recently seen a study on tv that coffee in moderation could even benefit your health-they implied 1-2 cups a day.
