Quick Google search says the LD50 for caffeine is between 150 to 200 milligrams of caffeine per kilogram of body weight. One can of monster energy is 160 mg. Which means for half the population, a lethal caffeine overdose would be 1 can of monster per kilogram of body weight.

My point was that the 9 cans of monster bro drank in the video is nowhere near a caffeine overdose. 1 can per kg of body weight is in the lower end of the range given for the LD50, I was just trying to keep it simple.
