Although we\u2019re primarily concerned here with it as a drink, caffeine, as well as ground coffee, is available in other forms, such as tablets and as an ingredient in a mixture.\u00a0 It takes a lot to overdose, and the lethal dose for an adult is 150 to 200 mg of caffeine per kg of body weight.\u00a0 To place this into perspective, if you weighed about 120 lbs., you would have to drink about 75 cups of coffee before you checked into the big Starbuck\u2019s in the sky.<\/p>\n<p>Coffee beans will last up to three years,<a href=\"http:\/\/prephappy.com\/prepping\/coffee-after-the-apocalypse-5-off-the-grid-coffee-makers-for-smart-preppers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> but without electricity,<\/a> or your handy Keurig, how will you prepare it?
