I used to drink pot after pot of tea all day long until I had my operation and packed up smoking cigars, which resulted in me regaining my taste buds. I then found that I didnt like the taste of tea or coffee very much so I now have 1 cup of tea in the morning when I get up and probably one cup of coffee if we are out shopping. Other than that it is 2- 3 litres of Diet Pepsi. With wine or bitter in the evening, like now.
