Stacking: caffeine + nicotine
If you also use nicotine pouches, the two stimulants stack — both raise heart rate and both suppress appetite, and the combination on an empty stomach is the single most common "wired but fried" pattern SteadyBeast users log. A 160mg can plus a few 6mg pouches before lunch is a bigger nervous-system event than either alone. See the nicotine pouch database for the other half of your math.

How much caffeine is in ZOA Strawberry Watermelon?

Caffeine's average half-life is ~5 hours. From a 160mg can, roughly 80mg is still active 5 hours later and ~40mg after 10 hours — which is why an afternoon can shows up at bedtime.
Is 160mg of caffeine a lot?
