I’m the first to admit I need my tea to start my day. And I’m writing fast and furious toward a deadline? It’s several glasses of tea. However, that doesn’t begin to touch this: The French writer Voltaire (1694-1778) drank an average of 70 cups of coffee a day.

Ugh! Coffee lover I am not. I’ve even denied myself cokes long enough that I don’t need them anymore. Now, if you take away my strawberry crystal light with caffeine there will be hell to pay :devil:

I’m a caffeine addict–yep, I can drink Coke and fall asleep with no problems. But 70 cups would probably give even me the jitters.

Kira, I gave up Diet Coke but don’t mess with my tea.
LOL, Kimberly, I’m thinking that must’ve been some bad-ass shaky handwriting he had. :happy2:

Holy cow! I’m a tea lover too — hot or cold. And I thought my DH drank a lot of coffee.
