Sweetee is not thirst quenching, it's candy and makes you thirstier.

Water is thirst quenching. Pure unadulterated water. Nothing better.

<yawn> So drink the sweetea just for the flavor and caffeine. Not
everything one eats and drinks has to be strictly just for function.

Perhaps you'll let me drink unsweetened tea for the flavor and
caffeine? I don't like sweetened tea--hot or cold.

(Iced green tea is very refreshing, but not at all Southern.)

Mostly I drink iced tap water, anyway.

The only "sweet" tea I like are the flavored ones like Nestea
Raspberry iced tea or Snapple Peach tea. Hot tea is never sweet
and no lemon - blecch! And plain iced tea should be, well, plain -
no sugar and definitely no lemon. I abhor lemon in tea! I could
drink it with sugar in it if I had to but not the lemon!
