So be it any tea , coffee , hot chocolate etc ( not water ) do you have a day ?

Just counted up mine it's 10 , which seems a lot . Only 2 with added milk though .

Only drink tea.

2 or 3 on a work day - one on the train, one in the office and another if it’s busy

1 or 2 on a weekend - one first thing and another pre lunch if we’re out.

After that it’s water, flavoured water,(rarely) Coca Cola and then wine 😂

None

I wish I could fit in 10 hot drinks in a day, at work I usually make a coffee and then get interrupted and end up scarfing it down cold! I feel like this is possibly the fundamental flaw in my life and I need to work towards a 10 cup life!

I probably have three mugs of coffee and five mugs of tea in an average day, all decaffeinated. I drink around three glasses of water each day, but never any other cold drinks.

I have so many! They're like a crutch for me, to get me through the day! 10 sounds like me.

MrsTerryPratchett · 16/02/2024 20:42

Probably 8-10 per day but most are weak tea with no milk. It's just nice-smelling water at that point.

CurryandSnuggle · 16/02/2024 20:44

1 coffee, 6–9 cups of tea

Username947531 · 16/02/2024 20:44

10?? That's a lot. I have 2 to 3, one normal tea, one decaf tea and maybe a hot water with lemon or a cacao.

Kalevala · 16/02/2024 20:44

Usually two coffees, black.

79redballoons · 16/02/2024 20:45

3-4 cups of tea, no milk or sugar

ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea · 16/02/2024 20:45

Around ten for me too - mainly tea with skimmed milk . In a mug.

usernother · 16/02/2024 20:46

1-2.

PrimalLass · 16/02/2024 20:46

Two coffees first thing before I will do anything else.

Maybe 2-3 more depending on how busy or cold I am.

Kalevala · 16/02/2024 20:47

How do you fit in 10!? Before breakfast, with breakfast, mid morning, lunch, afternoon, before dinner, with dinner, after dinner, is only 8.

stopringingme · 16/02/2024 20:48

Zero

kelladne · 16/02/2024 20:48

1 non caffeine drink after dcs have gone to bed. Wouldn't have time to drink any throughout the day..

MrsMuji · 16/02/2024 20:48

About 2 cups of tea
1 flat white

Toddlerteaplease · 16/02/2024 20:48

5-6. But three of them will be in a pint mug.

Newgolddream70 · 16/02/2024 20:48

Two coffees before midday and maybe a cup of decaf tea before bed.

soundsys · 16/02/2024 20:49

Ooh probably... 5 or 6? Only one milky one normally though!

soundsys · 16/02/2024 20:50

It depends how many meetings I have though. I like to go into a meeting armed with a brew even if it's online 🤣

salamithumbs · 16/02/2024 20:51

I'd say 10 to 15 on days I'm not working...sadly at work I can only fit 2 in at lunch and can't have hot drinks apart from that so that limits me! I'd fit in 5 before and after work easily though

BeaRF75 · 16/02/2024 20:52

If I'm at work, probably 4 (all coffee).
If at home, 2 or 3 (coffee, plus an occasional peppermint tea).

theDudesmummy · 16/02/2024 20:52

One herbal tea in bed before getting up. One normal tea with milk mid-afternoon. On a particularly cold day, another milky tea around 6pm.

Andthereyougo · 16/02/2024 20:52

10-ish. In very large mugs, all decaf tea.
