Dazza vs The Tea


So far, I've drunk 78 cups of tea in 2011.

Every time I mention the amount of tea I drink, people react in shock. Apparently 78 drinks in 10 days is a lot. Or is it?

That’s an average of nearly 8 cups a day. At an estimated 1/2 pint a cup, that’s 4 pints of tea a day plus a couple of waters/juices depending on availability and/or inclination. So, maybe 5 pints of drink a day, which only a little more than the 4 and a bit pints (2.5 litres) recommended by World Health Organisation.

Given that tea is quite good for you, with plenty of vitamins and antioxidants and free radicals and other stuff, and hasn't been written off as a diuretic for quite while now, I don’t think it’s unreasonable.
