A 16oz coffee has 150-300mg of caffeine depending on the variety; the eight o'clock coffee in my cupboard has 224mg in 16oz. The monster I just drank has 150mg in 16oz. Coffee is certainly not lower in concentration than an energy drink though tea is.
I was specific about espresso drinks for a reason!
The going measure for espresso is even higher though, generally around 80mg / 4oz demitass
Okay sure, but no one drinks espresso by the pint. Your typical Starbucks mocha/latte isn't going to be more caffeinated than the same volume of drip coffee.
Actually I need to correct, was pulling numbers from my head a decade + old when I did the barista thing, it's more like 80/shot at 1-1.5 oz

So in a regular size beverage yeah it nets out about on par with a regular drip, but it is a lot more condensed. Once decided to make a full mug of espresso, not a recommended idea...
I suppose I should correct myself as well, it's almost no one who drinks espresso by the pint.
There was a time a decade or so ago where a customer came in to the McDonald's I was working at at the time and ordered 11 shots of espresso put in one cup. I think that number is correct; the guy had figured out previously that's how much would fit in a large cup. It took an amusingly long time to make. They were in motorcycle gear, so I hope he was sipping on it on a long haul trip or something. Mercy to the man's kidneys.
