I've not heard of putting Milk in your tea before. Do a lot of folks do that?

In Ireland and the UK that's pretty much the only way

Check this quick bite from Wikipedia. Milk and Sugar are the norm but there are no standard doses for each. It is very much a matter of taste with many people being very particular on their preference. Generally you would have about 10% milk and 1-2 teaspoons of sugar stirred in. Of course this all applies to certain blends. Teas like Earl Grey or Green Tea do not lend well to these practices.

There is much demand for expatriates of Ireland for Lyons Tea. You can actually buy it on Amazon. The tea bags are pyramidal so they don't usually stay in the cup more than about 10 seconds usually with a bit of a stir. It would usually look gold to red in colour.

Cold tea, or hot coffee. I voted coffee since that's what I drink more often. I don't like beer at all. It looks too much like horse urine. I rarely drink soft drinks.

Actually, it's plain old water that I drink most of the time.

I don't know what it is about regular caffeinated tea, but when I drink it I feel sick. I don't think it's the the caffeine as I can drink alot of coffee with no ill effects. So when I drink tea it's the wimpy herbal stuff. I like just about any kind of fresh coffee with a little heavy cream in it. I've actually made my own beer a couple of times with good results.

Neither, which is ironic considering I'm originally from Seattle and my sister owns a tea room. Coffee's too bitter for me and I just never really got into tea. I've also tried to cut down on soft drinks, one or two a week is about how much I usually drink. If I'm at work, it's lots of water. At home, I'll drink almost anything: beer, gatorade, lemonade, milk, juice...

LOL... I've tried beer a number of times throughout my life, but can't develop a taste for it. It's really yucky!

Yeah, beer that looks like horse's urine is called Budweiser. Or Miller.

I'm a coffee man, and my "habit" has gotten so bad that I can't contemplate work without it Not a good state of affairs, I know, but that's the way it is

I'm partial to a beer or two in the evening, but with a baby (click here) on the way, that's a habit that will disappear pretty soon.

Or possibly worsen.

Just kidding. Congratulations to you and your wife!
