cold lipton tea with sugar

It depends... If it is the Lipton that has the High Fructose cor syrup... its not much better for you than a coke, however if its just the tea whether it is green or black, its perfect..... you are getting in a lot of your needed water as well as all of the antioxidents from the tea... Its a great beverage, so enjoy!

Anything in excess is not good.
Sugars (if not found in fruit) are not good, as well as the huge doses of caffine that you may be taking in (which can lead to such problems as heart palpitations, etc.).
2 or 3 cups a day is good for the antioxidants it provides, but after that you could be doing yourself harm.
That said, people abuse themselves a million and one ways, and your 'addiction' does seem rather minor in comparison to alcohol/drug abuse, etc.
If you decide to drink all the tea you want, at least stop worrying about it, and just ENJOY! If that's the worst you're doing to your body, you're not too badly off!

Black tea cold or hot is great. It has tanin which is good for your health.
But also try Roobios tea and green tea as they are very high in antioxidants. I love the Roobios tea cold.
Sugar is ok but becareful how much you are drinking, it all adds up.

Well, green Tea IS good for people, but I don't think that it is after U drink a lot of it.
