Yes but it would take an insane amount to do it.

keep in mind the half life of caffiene is four hours so your body continually is breaking it down, this is how much you would have to get all at once, not over the course of a day.

Yep. I read an article recently about how there are certain brands of hyper caffeinated drinks that you can OD on. It is pretty hard to overdose on coffee or tea because the amount of caffeine per gram of drink is too low. However, there are drinks coming on the market that have a lot of caffeine. If you were to drink a lot of these drinks then it is possible to get enough caffeine in your system to kill you.

Yes, it would take about 42 cups of coffee in small amount of time. You can OD on just about any fluid. Its called drowning your body (blood) your body can normally take a certain amount of anything.But over doing it can be fatal

Too much of anything can kill you.
You can die from drinking too much water too and it doesn't contain caffeine.
