Comment on Earl Grey tea intoxication (2022)parent

Definitely not true. I used to regularly drink 1.5 gallons a day.

A gallon is a recommended daily intake for men:

A gallon of water. Not a gallon of Earl Grey tea

(I do agree that the parent's Arizona might not be quite comparable, given the sugar content in those drinks.)

I believe their point is that it is possible to consume over a gallon of {liquid} per day, and as someone who used to drink unhealthy amounts of soda, I promise it is possible to do it with even sugary, fizzy beverages let alone tea. Caffeine also has addictive properties which can override rational thoughts.
