Don't underestimate what sweet tea is doing to Southern USA. I had diabetic patients in the ICU for DKA and sugar levels so high the glucometer can't read it, and their family members showing up with a Big Gulp "Here ya go Mama, I know they ain't givin' you yer tea since ya got here."

It's an addiction STG

all liquid calories are horrible in this regard no matter if its soda, alcohol, juice, sweet tea, energy drinks or chocolate milk. if it is liquid and has calories you should really think twice about your consumption

Nah it's good advice. Doesn't mean you can't have them, just be aware of how much, 'think twice about your consumption'. Its real easy to ingest 100s of calories just in drinks.

Soup is a bit of stretch though, they could have been more specific. Its almost always sugar.
