    I have a friend who pretty much drinks nothing but tea. No water, coffee, alcohol, soft drinks etc. And he does get his 2-3 litres of fluids per day in like that.

      You drink 2-3 liters of water a day? That sounds like alot.

        Im in the alps, so I have the privilege of having access to virtually free and safe to drink, but also tasty. It’s the cheapest, easiest way to do something good for my health, so i do it. 2-3 litres is usually the recommendation i see and hear everywhere.

        Tbh I sometimes drink close to 4 litres, i have to watch my electrolytes more than anything.

        That sounds about right for me… I have 250ml when I wake up, I’ll have 250-300ml of coffee, then I drink a 1L carafe of water while working. In the evening I’ll have a couple glasses of water and/or a large cup of herbal tea. Sometimes I’ll drink 2 carafes of water.

        Tea doesn’t have that much usable caffein if you let it steep longer than maybe 3 minutes. Also, we don’t know how diluted the tea is.

        is he not dead

        He’s doing great. He’s Irish (as in, born, raised, and living in Ireland), I think it’s pretty normal over there

            Hm, I lived with him and his family for half a year when we were both 16 and most people seemed to drink this much tea
