10-14 ??! Not good. According to Health Benefits of drinking tea:

Tea may reduce your risk of heart attack and stroke.

A 5.6-year study from the Netherlands found a 70 percent lower risk of fatal heart attack in people who drank at least two to three cups of black tea daily compared to non-tea drinkers.

Tea protects your bones. It's not just the milk added to tea that builds strong bones. One study that compared tea drinkers with non-drinkers, found that people who drank tea for 10 or more years had the strongest bones, even after adjusting for age, body weight, exercise, smoking and other risk factors. The authors suggest that this may be the work of tea's many beneficial phytochemicals.

Tea protects against cancer. Thank the polyphenols, the antioxidants found in tea, once again for their cancer-fighting effects. While the overall research is inconclusive, there are enough studies that show the potential protective effects of drinking tea to make adding tea to your list of daily beverages.

I may be from Britain but I don't like tea. I much prefer coffee. COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE!!!

 

[PeregrinFig]

I had no idea how true the British tea-drinking stereotype was.

If I drink tea, it's iced tea. I sometimes drink coffee, but never hot tea.

4-5 a day, three (small) teaspoons of sugar, plenty of milk.
Used to drink a lot of coffee but gave that up because of the sweat and because I was verging on coffee addiction

.

Sorry - I'm a manly man, no sugar for me

Drinking another one right now. Third and probably last of the day

 

[Depravo]

I went off tea in my late teens and haven't drunk it since then. Currently I drink 2-4 cups of coffee a day.

 

[Armadillo]

I'm too lazy to make my own, so how many cups I have a day really depends on how many times someone else makes it

. I'm on my 5th or 6th cup today, I'm not sure

0, I don't drink tea, but when I do it's to cure a sore throat.

I'm an American, so I actually drink around eight cups of water, and eat pretty healthy, like most Americans.

But seriously: Tea is pretty good. But I mainly drink water.

 

[TrolleyDave]

When I'm at home I have one or two cups an hour! I love tea, have done since I was a kid.

 

[Psyfira]

On average 5 for a normal work day, probably 6-7 on a weekend if I'm home all day.

Coming from an Egyptians family, I always have drank tea. I have about 8 a day. I try to drink less now because I make them very sweet. Like 3-4 spoons of sugar in a big glass. My favorite brand is the Ahmad London Ceylon Tea with Cardamon flavor. How about you guys?

Spoons of what size? Because if 3-4 is very sweet, I'm insane
