"Caffeine is metabolized through the liver and has a half-life of around 5 hours, meaning that it takes this long for half of the caffeine to leave your body."
"If you've consumed too much coffee and don't replenish your fluids, you can suffer the effects of dehydration, which can include mild symptoms like increased thirst, but also more uncomfortable ones such as headaches, fatigue, and elevated blood pressure."
The USDA recommends a maximum of 400 milligrams of caffeine daily, but side effects can occur even at lower levels. Factors such as genetics, weight, and medications influence caffeine's effects. Once consumed, caffeine cannot be eliminated quickly, with a half-life of about 5 hours. Peak effects occur 30-60 minutes post-consumption. To mitigate side effects, avoid further caffeine and stay hydrated, as dehydration can worsen symptoms like headaches and anxiety.
