Drinking Too Much...

...tea.
I always seem to have a cup to hand these days. Maybe 20 a day, more than a gallon of tea, which is probably too much. And I always seem to be running to the loo.
How much is enough?

Tea contains caffeine which should be consumed in moderation.
Caffeine can make you jumpy and edgy.
Some studies suggest excessive tea drinking can cause brittle bones and teeth (as well as staining teeth).
20 seems excessive. Some days I may have 3-4 cups, others I wont bother having one at all. But, I know for some people a "brew" is very comforting and part of their routine, I know people who have a cup every hour, at least.

Sandy, cut down on the tea. Tea is a diuretic so you tend to pee more than you have drunk, so you get thirsty and have another cuppa. Drink something else and brake the cycle. Fruit juice is good as it contains potassium which helps reduce blood pressure. Plus not having to go to the loo so often will give you time to contemplate why god made the stuff and gave you the free will to drink too much.

The great brewer up above is kinder to us than we deserve, or imagine. He included Camellia Sinensis in the flora of the warmer regions, then gave us the wit to master fire so that we might eventually have the wherewital to mash a nice brew.
