On Wednesday, TMZ reported that the “Oops!… I Did It Again” singer consumes caffeine drinks “by the gallon.” Insiders told the outlet that Britney consumes coffee, Red Bull, Celsius, and dandelion tea "almost nonstop." They also said that she has stayed awake for as long as three days from her excessive caffeine consumption.

The outlet claimed that experts say that this is “unsurprising for people with mental illnesses.” Dr. Drew told TMZ that although it’s not “particularly healthy” to be drinking so much caffeine, people “with mental illnesses crave the high from these drinks.”
