>Coffee — he called it a “great power in [his] life” — made possible a grueling schedule that had him going to bed at six, rising at 1am to work until eight in the morning, then drinking eighty cups before putting in another seven hours.
>Whenever a reasonable human dose failed to stimulate, Kant would begin eating coffee powder on an empty stomach, a “horrible, rather brutal method” that he recommended “only to men of excessive reason, men with formidable intellects.”

>In the 19th century, Søren Kierkegaard would also get into a coffee ritual. He “had his own quite peculiar way of having coffee,” writes biographer Joakim Garff. “Delightedly he seized hold of the bag containing the sugar and poured sugar into the coffee cup until it was piled up above the rim. Next came the incredibly strong, black coffee, which slowly dissolved the white pyramid.”

Kidneys can turn over 20-28L of water a day at the absolute max.
If a cup is 250ml than Kant is on the brink of death every fucking day. Not to mention passing out 20Kg or 44 lbs of piss a day. Imagine pissing your body weight in 3-5 days

Worse would be the long term effect. This would almost guarantee him developping an OAB, especially since he was not physically active.
Forget needing to piss constantly, he'd be leaking piss unable to retain himself after a few months.
