Brits are abandoning tea...

In favor of Starbucks coffee.

Coffee tastes better anyway. I'm not surprised they're switching!

True, true. Though I've become a fairly prolific tea drinker as of late, it's not a drink I'd ever give up coffee in favor of.

These days, I average around eight cups of coffee a day, and I'd say around one hundred to one hundred and twenty cups of tea a month. (That would be fluid measure cups, of course.)

Why in the world are you drinking so much coffee and tea?

It's really not that much, when you think about it. Two-thirds of a pot of coffee in the morning, and a couple of cups of tea in the afternoon and evening. I have a penchant for drinking a lot of fluids in general (you can usually add a quart or two of water a day, and miscellaneous other drinks on top of that) and a couple of cups here and there tend to add up.
