I drink a lot of tea aswel, never done me any harm that I am aware of (don't take sugar)

At the end of the day it is 99% water so can't be that bad.  :y

i lose weight easy and if i drink tea i dont eat, can go without eating for 2 days at a time. 24 cups x 2 sugars is not good, especially if i drink it black which i do more now as it tastes better

I had to give up sugar in tea and coffee as one week at work I was alone (everyone else on leave) and I emptied our sugar bowl in that week. It frightened me how much sugar I was taking in.

It did take me two attempts at giving up sugar in tea, but now I have done it I could not go back, if someone gives me a cup with sugar in I can't drink it, not even to be polite.

Some years ago i saw my Doctor regarding a hypertension issue - when he asked me how many cups of tea and coffee i had daily i told him truthfully it was about 12... ::)

he was shocked - "no wonder, you must be high as a kite! Stick to no more than 4 cups a day, or better still drink decaff,  and your hyper problems will disappear.."

he was right  :y

I drink so little tea and coffee that 2 cups in a row make me shaky and wound up - makes me the butt of the jokes in work at breaktime..

Can't sleep if I drink it after about 7 either  :-[

cant beat a good cup of char :yOnly take sugar with my first cup in the morning now though, and switch to green teas then for rest of the day.Found them a bit bitter at first but am quite into them now. Even enjoy lapsong souchong (my mrs calls it bonfire tea cause it smells like old bonfires) and herbe matte. Rarely drink coffee these days. Cant beat a nice cuppa yorkshire to dunk your biscuits in either :y

Used to drink with 2 sugars, converted to no sugar about five years ago and sweet tea tastes awful to me now.

I have proper coffee first thing, tea all day, wine/cider with evening meal, tea after, tea last thing before I sleep.

Just really got into Punjana  brand tea (red/silver pack); if you haven't tried it, give it a go instead of your preferred brand-it's ace  :y

I did a weeks work in the first three hours, but I am still twitching  :o

Since I'm now down to about 3 hours sleep a night on a good night), I have had to restrict my caffeine intake.  One large mug of green tea or occasionally 2 cups of very strong (proper) coffee in the morning. One mug of tea at around 6 in the evening. 

Otherwise it's caffeine-free Diet Coke, Red Bush tea, cup-a-soup or water for me.   :(

No sugar, no alcohol.
