How many cups of tea do you have a day?

...she says making her 4th. And I've had a cappuccino out earlier too. Will probably have at least one more (usually herbal) before bed which brings my total to 6 or so cups of something a day. Sounds a lot when I add it up... Sure I shouldn't be having so much caffeine! brew brew brew brew brew brew

Two peppermint or ginger teas per day - otherwise water or weak squash.

Caffeine gives me the mega-jitters and I pee for England!

Teetime Yes I used to get through a lot more coffee when I was working. we called it Ersatz because it was out of a machine. At that time I was on the ball at work, could remember phone numbers, faces, names. Now I've retired, I rarely drink coffee, my wife doesn't like it, and we drink too much tea, but I have started to have problems with my memory.

I can see in my minds eye the object I want to talk about, but for the life of me I just can't recall the name for it. Do you think drinking less tea would help?.

All our tea is decaf (so is coffee for me). We have one mug of tea from the teasmade first thing then a coffee mid morning, tea mid afternoon and tea at about six after our meal.
