Do people no longer take sugar in their tea?

    As title suggests.
    I work in a large organisation and I can't remember the last time I saw somebody putting sugar in their tea.
    I don't do it myself and was wondering if it is a thing of the past?
    Nobody in my family take it either, and if somebody wants sugar in our house, they get sugar that is hardly ever used!
    Was this just something previous generations did?

    Never took sugar in teas. Used to take one spoon in coffee. Don't take it in either nowdays. Visitors either go without or use some hardened sachets that might be in some press somewhere. Don't miss it at all.

    Too puritanical for my liking. Give me a cup of tea with milk and a bit of sugar any day of the week

    Agree. I don't take any sugar in tea but Mr Crumble takes 2. He made us both a cup during the week in identical mugs and handed me the wrong one. One mouthful and I honestly almost vomited. How on earth people actually drink tea with sugar in it, I honestly don't know.

    Tea and coffee tastes pretty bland without it so yeah, 2 sugars for me please.

    Rarely drink any fizzy drinks though to keep the sugar count down .

    Tea so strong you could walk on it and a spoon of honey. Perfection in a mug.

    No sugar in tea with milk. If I am drinking my tea black then I might have a sweetener tablet in a cup of Earl Grey or a slice of lemon.

    I gave it up a few years ago when I wanted to shed some weight.

    The first sip out of a cup of tea or coffee was a bit rank but you really don't notice after that first sip.

    You feel much better for it after a few weeks, provided you are not devouring sugar in other foods.
