Logan Warren, a 22-year-old tech entrepreneur and student, can't afford to drink at the coffee chain daily. "At the rate I consume coffee, I'd be a pauper in a month," the Texas-based college student tells Shine.

So when he landed a coupon for a free drink, of any size with any additional add-ons, for his birthday (a company gift if you sign up for their rewards program), he took it as a personal challenge. What's the biggest, priciest Starbucks drink money can buy?

It all starts with a Trenta, the super-sized coffee cup introduced by the company last May.

QuikTrip -- A large coo-off-fee and two donuts after 3PM is just over $2.30 .

Or, a refill 52 ounce soft drink is always 86 CENTS. Select among over a dozen soft drinks. I'm thirsty just thinking about it.

It would be more meaningful if it was the most expensive caffeinated beverage an average human being could consume in its entirety and still taste good.

Ah I'll give him props. I'm sure he had a lot of fun creating it. Even if it doesn't taste good (which it didn't), it was worth it using your free coupon to construct it.

But how did it taste? "Tolerable," according to Warren, "but not good. Imagine a coffee-based health food smoothie that will put you in the hospital if you drink it all."
