Coffee 'no boost in the morning'

I don't know about this, I do know that I miss my cup of joe in the morning :java: :'( And I feel like my morning isn't 100% complete without one.

Since the weather has been a bit warmer here (+20C) I've started to drink iced coffee in the mornings. So I make about 10 shots of espresso and keep it in the fridge. and in the mornings I have some with a few ice cubes. The thing is it's hard to measure the amount now, and this morning I've started to get the shakes a little. :umm:

A teenager in Britain had to be rushed to hospital after overdosing on espresso coffee.

The 17-year-old downed seven double espresso coffees while working in the family's sandwich shop.

Student Jasmine Willis, who thought the coffees were single measures, said the effects of the espresso were so severe her actions left customers bewildered.... Ouch ! My heart trembles at the thought of 7 doubles !
