If I didn't drink tea I wouldn't be English. I'd be shun by my elders.

I'd practically be Ryan Davidson. It'd be a pathetic life, full of pain and misery.

I'm English to the core and don't drink tea or coffee, only high quality water, and the occasional milk/juice etc.

On a side note, people who drink something hot in the summer months need to be sectioned, nothing 'refreshing' about it; I personally apply the same principle to central heating.

So it depends on how much you sweat then, not everyone will respond the same, you can be warm and not that sweaty. And science aside, It's also psychological on what you feel is 'refreshing' you, and context plays a role too.

Nothing beats ice cold/well-filtered water, that article seems to have an agenda against sugary drinks and uses that as 'part' of it's justification.

I'll tell you I'd rather read that article again than the bullshit you spouted about having people sectioned because they like hot drinks in summer.

'Not everyone responds the same and it's about context but people who drink hot drinks in summer should be sectioned.' - Paraphrased from Term-X.

Tf is high quality water? Rain water?

Today I've had 6 cups of tea and a large coffee, yet I feel very sleepy. I think I'm immune to caffeine.

6 cups? Damn. I had 3 Monsters and a redbull...and I'm sooo sleepy.

The best water to drink is naturally clean, pure and full of naturally occurring minerals.

There is some great bottled water out there, like VOSS, Fiji etc, but the 'end game' is getting yourself a reverse osmosis filter machine, that's when you know you've won in life.

That sounds like too much work to do for something I can drink that falls out of the sky.

So is that how you drink your water then, going outside and opening your mouth?.. :rolleyes:

Tap water has so many contaminants and doesn't taste as nice as filtered stuff or artesian water.

Yea, I collect it in a bucket though lol.

Fuck that, I like my simple bottled water. But I'm sure it's good :rolleyes:

Something like this wouldn't be a bad little starter

You'd need to buy a decent grinder and source some good beans though, also get you're hands on a jug, thermometer etc. All fairly easy to get the hang of, grinders can be a hassle though, dialing in is a bit tedious at first but there's plenty of guides online and videos on youtube to get your sorted.
