A teenager was taken to hospital after overdosing on espresso coffee.

Jasmine Willis, 17, developed a fever and began hyperventilating after drinking seven double espressos while working at her family’s sandwich shop.

Ms Willis, who had thought the coffees were single measures, said the effects were so severe that she began laughing and crying for no reason while serving customers at the shop.

One of the coffee shops I used to frequent in Baltimore had huge cups that could have doubled as soup bowls. I was so intrigued by them that I thoughtlessly ordered one, drank it all down, and was wired and somewhat panicky feeling all day. I still remember lying on my bed a few hours later wondering why I felt so anxious then realizing that a huge cup like that could only mean that it contained at least a triple shot of espresso.
