    Rest of the year, 6 - 8 per day.
    Hangover day, 12 - 15.
    No coffee, it's stinking stuff.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,453 ✭✭✭Shenshen


    Around 5 cups of tea, give or take. A little less in summer.

    I don't drink coffee, it makes me throw up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,821 ✭✭✭fussyonion


    Around 6 cups of tea a day. Love the stuff.

    I used to drink one coffee in the morning but I lost my taste for it and now I rarely drink it. (Sucks in a way as I was given a coffee machine as a present a few weeks back!)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,459 ✭✭✭LizzieJones


    2 cups of tea per day in the warmer months. More in winter.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 430 ✭✭Pablodreamsofnew


    3-4 cups of coffee and 5 cups of tea and two cups of decaf tea before bed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,309 ✭✭✭chicorytip


    Tea contains Tannin which prevents the absorption of Iron into the system. It is
    unwise,therefore,to consume more than
    3 cups per day.

    As a bloke I see this as a good thing. Men who give blood have fewer heart attacks, one theory being that the reduction in iron on a regular basis is beneficial. It may be one reason why women have fewer fatal heart attacks because of their menses. A genetic prevalence to excess iron build up is quite common in Irish men and has badcardiovascular implications. Oh and drinking tea promotes longevity. Chicorytip 0, Tea 1.

    Plus I eat a lot of bloody steak so Iron ain't no problem on my part.

    I drink lots of tea. With milk, or black, or green. All stewed until the glaze on the mug is in danger of being eaten away. Amount? 10 cups per day I'd reckon.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    A coffee in the morning with about 10 mugs of tea throughout the day. Tea makes the world better.

    Ah well now, if you have a sh*tty diet then the number of cups of tea you drink isn't going to hugely effect the fact that you have a sh*tty diet. And if you have a pretty great diet, the number of cups of tea you drink isn't going to hugely effect that.

    It foods that are high in iron, spinach, red meat, pulses, eggs, liver if you like it. You're not going to find yourself in need of iron supplements over a few cups of tea.

    3 or 4 mugs of either tea of coffee. Now that you mention it, I think it's time for number 3.

    2 cups of tea a day and 3 cups of coffee usually


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 181 ✭✭berrygood


    I drink loads more at the weekend. Especially if I'm going nowhere and having a day of lounging about. I'm trying to cut down but tea is just perfect with everything. Bit of chocolate, have some tea. After dinner, have some tea. Feeling sleepy, tea. Sick, tea! :-D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,499 ✭✭✭porsche959


    I like to drink expensive Lapsang Souchung tea, the crack cocaine of teas, with milk. Just because I can.
