Unless she were drinking LOTS of other caffeinated beverages this is unlikely to be sole cause of death. 388 mg / 2 liters of Pepsi Max, or 3.1 grams in 8 bottles over the course of a day (say 12 hours); four hours to clear her liver, means 1 gram of caffeine in her system at any one time. LD50 is around 10 grams for a normal weight person, and I’m guessing she ain’t.
It couldn’t have been the bottle of vodka every day.
Pepsi Max in the UK has less caffeine than that sold in the USA. Two liters there has around 250mg, same as a typical ‘tall’ Starbucks. (If I read the numbers correctly).

Shame on you for letting facts get in the way of a sensational story. What are you , a conservative?
