prompter: How much tea does the average person drink each year? I think that my usual three to five cups per day is healthy, but I am not sure. I have recently started to drink an average of five to seven cups, and I feel nauseous and bloated. Should I see a doctor, or just cut down on the tea?

assistant: The standard amount of tea that an individual drinks annually, as it can vary greatly based on factors such as cultural background, location, and personal preference. As as a rough estimation, it's believed that people drink approximately 3 cups of tea daily.

If you have recently increased your tea intake to five to seven cups per day and are experiencing symptoms such as nausea and bloating, it is advisable to see a doctor for guidance. Excessive tea consumption can lead to side effects such as dehydration, nausea, and bloating.

prompter: How does the amount of tea drunk per day per person vary across the main continents of the world?  Which countries have the highest consumption of cups per day?

assistant: The Turks like tea the most, as reigning world champions they drink an average of 4 glasses a day. This is more than the Irish who love a cup of tea even more than Brits. At the other end of the scale Mexicans don't even know what a teapot looks like, and almost everyone south of them prefers coffee.

The preference for tea is both cultural and historical. Countries that had empires in or are linked to Asia generally prefer tea, and to South America tend to prefer coffee. US cultural domination has had quite an effect too, media influence has seen gradual shift from tea towards coffee.

assistant: The average varies across cultures and people, especially since many treat it as e.g.g a breakfast drink instead of a main source of hydration. Either way, what matters more than the average is your specific body's reaction to it. If you think the nausea is related to drinking more tea, try reducing your intake and see if it helps. If it continues and you don't know why, you should go see a doctor.

prompter: Thank you for advise. How much coffee can I safely drink each day?

assistant: The consumption per person per year varies by country. In the Unites states it was 0.23kg per year in 2016 according to Wikipeda.

If you are feeling unwell you should see a doctor. An digital assistant cannot give you competent medical advice.

prompter: That's alright if you can't give competent advice, can you please tell me how likely it's the tea or that I have a different issue?

assistant: Too much caffeine can cause stomach issues, which can result in you feeling nauseous and bloated. Five to seven cups would lead to a higher caffeine intake than most people. As caffeine is an addictive substance, most people will naturally take as much of it as they can until they feel uncomfortable taking more, suggesting that on average higher amounts are more likely to cause discomfort. However a proper probability cannot be given until you take into account all the other things that have changed from when you did not feel nauseous and bloated. Once you have identified all the changes that have occurred that can lead to you feeling unwell, you will be able to assign a probability to the caffeine. Alternatively, you can experiment with taking your previous level of caffeine. If your symptoms decline, it is highly likely the caffeine was the problem. Ultimately, through experimentation by stopping activities you have recently changed to the activities which you did previously, you should be able to find the cause of your discomfort.

assistant: It is difficult to say without a direct examination by a medical professional. However, if you have recently increased your tea consumption and you are feeling unwell, it is important to consider that the tea could be a contributing factor. If you are concerned, it is best to seek medical advice.

prompter: Ok, are there any downsides to immediately stopping all my tea drinking?

assistant: I do not think it is the tea but much more than that, I certainly do think you should se a doctor if you are not feeling well.
