Sideswipe:

assuming your friend is 120 lbs, 240 cans will kill. apparently. assuming he is over 18.

--- Quote from: SeventhSandwich on October 21, 2017, 12:26:17 AM ---If you were just continuously chugging Diet Coke until it killed you, the first thing to do it would be the water, by far. Drinking ~17 355mL cans of coke would put you at the LD50 for an adult weighing 75kg. This is because the water causes your body's concentration of sodium to plummet, which makes stuff like muscles and brain cells stop working.

basically this; nevermind the sweetener and caffeine, the most immediate problem is simply fluid intake.

that said, the carbonation would likely make it difficult to consume enough before throwing up
TristanLuigi:
okay stuff I pressed quote instead of edit

but while i'm here, i might as well post this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3HivpHP-5I
once you drink enough, your cells and therefore organs will start to swell up with water; that's bad, but it's even worse when you consider the fact that the brain will now be pressed against your skull, which causes a loss of oxygen, possibly leading to cell death and permanent brain damage, in addition to severe seizures. also your blood vessels can burst and cause internal bleeding

so yeah don't drink forgettons of fluid, coke or not
IkeTheGeneric:
if you drank like four gallons you would die
Woof:
