Cups Of Tea - How Many?

[Smowball]

Just wondering how many cups of tea(or coffee) you normally drink a day?
I was speaking to a woman the other day who said she has up to 30 cups a day!! That seems a ridiculously high amount.
I dont think I have more than 4 - one when I wake up, maybe one before I go to work, one at work and one when I get in - thats it.

[Tilly2]

About six, I would say.

i do drink other things I hasten to add - water,cordial,diet coke.....

All our family are big tea drinkers. Im on my 3rd already. I need at least 2 just to get me moving. I must drink about 10 or more a day. One day I will check just how many I do drink and amaze myself. My OH has perhaps 2 all day. He never has a hot drink at work, just water. He will perhaps have cuppa with his tea and one about 9pm and thats it !!

3 cups usually... then coffee or plain water. I don't drink for juices or fizzy drinks.

[hippyhoppy]

Don't drink either tea or coffee.. just a splash of gin on me cornflakes.... joking aside - I don;t understand hot drinks when there's perfectly good water in the tap.

[TheOtherHalf]

I hate fizzy drinks. I do use perfectly good water from the tap, hippyhoppy, to make my tea and coffee. I do also drink water (from the tap)

[hippyhoppy]

I'm not knocking hot drinks, TOH, I remember getting to 30 and thinking 'I really should drink coffee now I'm an adult' but just can't.. (unless I'm hungover as a result of the gin on my cornfalkes of a morn)..

[Smowball]

Yes I can see that gin on the cornflakes may make you a tad dehydrated.....lol

But I dont really drink coffee - gives me a headache.

[guilliebrougues]

Probably 10 breakfast cups of green tea a day.

During the Spring/Summer I'd only have one (At Breakfast time). During the Autumn/Winter I'd have one with my Breakfast, one if I've been out and it's really cold and maybe one of an evening.

[Connemmara]

2-3

[friedgreentomato]

3 mugs of extra strong coffee - espresso strength with 2.5 teaspoons.

[Gavmacp]

I have between 10-15 cups of coffee a day. I mentioned this to my GP who nearly fell off his chair. I didn't think it was too much but obviously was.
Tried green tea recently which actually wasn't bad.

I don't drink proper tea, but I do have those fruit teas in summer. I usually have about 3 cups of coffee a day but none after 3pm (I suffer from insomnia so caffeine is a no no)

[EcclesCake]

One at the most and lately none at all.

[Robinia]

About 5 (mugs) of tea...plus water/sprite/lemonade. I very rarely drink coffee.

[Baldric]

4 or 5, Coffee, don't drink Tea, it's too easy for me, as I tend to work from the kitchen table rather than the study as it's at the front of the house and I can see what's going on.

[boxtops]

water most of the day - a cup of black coffee when I get to work, then that's me until I get home, cup of tea then without milk. That's me, I tend only to drink water or something similar.

[murraymints]

At least 15 per day !!
