Hey now, easy. 🙂 I was just playing with ya, I figured you’d have some fun with this, honest. I’m good for a few cups all day, and some late at night. That’s usually an herbal non-caffeinated one, however.

Best,

AHHHH WEIRD PEOPLE. AHHHH.

Tea is supposed to be cold. Tea is suposed to have lots of sugar in it. Anyting elese isnt tea…its some sort or coffee knock off. (OH BOY, AINT I ABOUT TO GET ROASTED)

…Starbucks are pointless. There is only one kind of coffee. Black. whih sugar in it. No choclate, no milk, no whipped cream. after all, we are drinking coffee, not baking a cake. (THIS ONE IS FOR THE ARTSY, POETRY READING, COFFEE SHOP HANGING-OUT WEIRDOS, WHO ARE ALSO GOING TO BURN ME)  
just doing my part to make the world a more evil place. lol

Um, I didn’t take offense, I just didn’t know what you were talking about (and still don’t). If you mean I might have experience sweating by drinking too much hot tea, then I would agree that it does happen from time to time, but I think that could be said of anyone, so I’m still curious as to why I would be the expert. Still 😕
