According to the Caffeine Informer.com, This is equivalent to about:
5.2 - Shots of espresso
Two - 5 Hour Energy Shots
1 - Starbucks Venti brewed coffee
2.5 - 16 fl.oz. Monster Energy Drinks
5 - 8 fl.oz. Red Bulls
11.7 - 12 fl.oz. Cokes
And according to that same website, my morning coffee from the Creamery, 20oz size is probably between 200 and 400mg. Of the beverages, coffee and energy drinks have the highest level of caffeine (8oz of Red Bull would be slightly less than 8 oz of regular coffee).
According to a Penn State study, 85% of American consumer one caffeinated beverage per day with an average intact of 165 mg. The group that had the highest intact of caffeine were in the 50-64 year olds...coffee drinkers.

EFSA determines 400 mg/day of caffeine is safe
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has published its long-awaited caffeine risk assessment. Previous studies on the safety of caffeine have been published by the Scientific Committee on Food (SCF) in 1983, 1999, and 2003. In 2013, EFSA was asked to evaluate potential adverse health effects that may arise following consumption either alone or in combination with alcohol and/or other substances such as energy drinks.
The SCF concluded that single doses of caffeine up to 200 mg and daily intakes of up to 400 mg do not raise safety concerns for adults in Europe. These are two of the provisional findings of EFSA’s Scientific Opinion on the safety of caffeine from all sources. The EFSA is now seeking comments and feedback on the draft document through a public consultation that is open until March 15, 2015.
In addition, the SCF reached the following conclusions:
It is unlikely that caffeine interacts adversely with other constituents of “energy drinks”—such as taurine and D-glucurono-gamma-lactone—or alcohol.
For pregnant women, caffeine intakes of up to 200 mg a day do not raise safety concerns for the fetus.
For children (3–10 years) and adolescents (10–18 years), daily intakes of 3 mg per kg of body weight are considered safe.
Single doses of 100 mg may increase sleep latency (the amount of time it takes to fall asleep) and shorten sleeping time in some adults.

Beverage caffeine intakes in the U.S.
Diane C. Mitchella, Carol A. Knightb, , Jon Hockenberryc, , Robyn Teplanskyc, , Terryl J. Hartmand,
Abstract
Caffeine is one of the most researched food components, with the vast majority of dietary contributions coming from beverage consumption; however, there is little population-level data on caffeine intakes in the U.S. This study estimated the caffeine intakes of the U.S. population using a comprehensive beverage survey, the Kantar Worldpanel Beverage Consumption Panel. A nationally representative sample of 37,602 consumers (aged ⩾ 2 years) of caffeinated beverages completed 7-day diaries which facilitated the development of a detailed database of caffeine values to assess intakes. Results showed that 85% of the U.S. population consumes at least one caffeinated beverage per day. The mean (±SE) daily caffeine intake from all beverages was 165 ± 1 mg for all ages combined. Caffeine intake was highest in consumers aged 50–64 years (226 ± 2 mg/day). The 90th percentile intake was 380 mg/day for all ages combined. Coffee was the primary contributor to caffeine intakes in all age groups. Carbonated soft drinks and tea provided a greater percentage of caffeine in the younger (<18 years) age groups. The percentage of energy drink consumers across all age groups was low (⩽10%). These data provide a current perspective on caffeinated beverage consumption patterns and caffeine intakes in the U.S. population.

Caffeine content for coffee, tea, soda and more
By Mayo Clinic Staff
If you're like most adults, caffeine is a part of your daily routine. But do you know the caffeine content of your favorite drink?
You may want to take a look at just how much caffeine you get in a typical day, especially if you're bothered by headaches, restlessness or anxiety. If your caffeine habit totals more than 500 milligrams (mg) a day, you may want to consider cutting back.
With the growing popularity of energy drinks, many parents have become concerned about how much caffeine their kids are getting. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that adolescents get no more than 100 mg of caffeine a day. Younger children shouldn't drink caffeinated beverages on a regular basis.
Check the charts below to see the caffeine content in popular drinks, sweets and medications. One note about the numbers: Use them as a guide. The actual caffeine content of the same coffee drink can vary from day to day — even at the same coffee shop — because of various factors, such as roasting and grinding as well as brewing time. The caffeine content of tea also is affected by how long it's brewed.
