Official: Lawyers drink the most tea

A recent survey has revealed that people working in the law drink more cups of tea per day than those in all other professions. Seventy per cent of legal workers drink more than three cups per day, with twenty per cent drinking more than six cups per day. This makes the legal profession even larger consumers of tea than those in the "architecture, engineering and building" field, according to a nationwide poll of almost 2,000 Brits. Despite the findings a straw poll by The Lawyer (www.thelawyer.com) suggests not very many partners at City firms drink tea at all, most instead opting for the drink of those clearly living on the edge: coffee.
