The quad drink offers a generous amount of caffeine. Any drink with a quad shot will give you 300mg of caffeine. This might seem much, but it still doesn’t beat the caffeine content in drip coffee of 16 ounces. If your body’s caffeine half-life is six hours, you will break half of the caffeine after six hours, meaning the caffeine will last for 12 hours in your system.
