Can you ever drink too much tea?

I love tea. Not the nampy pamby herbal teas mind, but proper tea. Preferably Yorkshire tea, but I won't turn down a PG, or be mortally offended if I get served a mug of tetleys and it's lovely with a hunk of soreen or a jaffa cake.
Thing is, I drink about six mugs a day supplemented with the odd glass of water (tea's got water in right?). But am I overdoing it on the tea? Can you ever drink too much? [8|]

I am a coffee drinker and have been thinking the same thing about coffee! I have changed to decaf but still I thibk to much is more than 4 a day! I have increase water consumtion to 3 litrs a day and yes you got it I am peeing clear liquid so this makes me think I am ok! Arghhhhhh what is the answer.
Sorry no help but............ZZZZZZZZZZZ
More caffine needed!
It really is the only way.....
OK. It's just water.
I prefer the simple efficiency of water.
I can't make tea. If I put the kettle on, then 30 minutes later I remember, by which time it is stone cold. This get repeated about 5 times. Then you finally get to pour hottish water over the tea. Then forget about it. Then it is all thick black and greasy, and you have to start over again. After about 9 hours, you finally have a cup. But, by this time, it is colder than body temperature. I'll drink it. But it isn't nice.
No - if I am thirsty I want to drink. Right then. So water for me.
Unless its wine or beer. But the principle is the same.
i used to love lying in bed all day and HATED hard work. Now i love hard work and HATE lying in bed.
.....i reckon i could keep this going for a while.....
I get you on the hard work front, I just need to find a job I like first [:@]. However, I will never turn to the dark side of the force (coffee). It gives me the shakes.
And how can you hate tea with a signature like that?
did you used to like women . . .?
I have heard on good authority that tea counts towards your xxx pints of water a day. But then the other day I heard that drinking it too hot has links to cancer...
So put simply it's either fine to drink tea, or it will kill me. Think I will go with the first one if you don't mind and pretend I never read the second.
*puts fingers in ears* la-la-la-la-la-la
Personally i also find tea tastes much better when preceded by a bacon sandwich.
Ohh and there is only one tea ..... Yorkshire tea
not that i do that....i love tea and reularly drink more than 4 cups a day. in fact i cant do any work at all until i've had my morning brew
I use this as a basis for taking regular tea & coffee breaks (2 cups of coffee and 2 of tea per day). I also remember seeing some research that suggested coffee was actually useful post-workout although I can't remember where I read it.
The introduction of further considerations to ameliorate the tea/coffee loading effect, was not in the remit for my study.
I shall retire to my ivory tower to consider new evidence that has emerged.
