Drinking Too Much...

[sandyRoe]

...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?

Any liquid intake is good for us all. Running to the toilet will also keep you fit.

never can have too much tea !

[Khandro]

'The first cup moistens my lips and throat, the second cup breaks my loneliness, the third cup searches my barren entrails but to find therein some five thousand volumes of odd ideographs. The fourth cup raises a slight perspiration,–all the wrong of life passes away through my pores. At the fifth cup I am purified; the sixth cup calls me to the realms of the immortals. The seventh cup–ah, but I could take no more! I only feel the breath of cool wind that rises in my sleeves. Where is Horai Mountain? Let me ride on this sweet breeze and waft away thither.'

A poet of the Tang dynasty.

Khandro's Chinese verse is elegant. This is as heartfelt.

DrFilth, I see there a new side to The Kinks. They've gone up in my estimation.

[DrFilth]

Whatever your happy with,Sandy. Apart from the nuisance of frequent loo visits it's not going to do you any harm and how often do we see in the news etc. that some poor old dear has had to go into hospital because they are dehydrated?

[rsvp]

Might be an idea to change to de-caff though - or at least for some of the cups.

No one's mentioned teeth?

Surely that much tea must be detrimental to your teeth?

[sandyRoe]

Boo, Steradent will remove any unsightly staining caused by the tea. ☻

Nothing like a "royal flush".

"...intestinal cleansing products..." Brings to mind Princess Di's taste for enemas.
I'll continue to take my tea orally.

[ummmm]

I think 5 cups a day. Are you replacing tea for another addiction?

[sandyRoe]

Ummmm, I probably am, yes.
