I have a friend who pretty much drinks nothing but tea. No water, coffee, alcohol, soft drinks etc. And he does get his 2-3 litres of fluids per day in like that.

You drink 2-3 liters of water a day? That sounds like alot.

Im in the alps, so I have the privilege of having access to virtually free and safe to drink, but also tasty. It's the cheapest, easiest way to do something good for my health, so i do it. 2-3 litres is usually the recommendation i see and hear everywhere.

Tbh I sometimes drink close to 4 litres, i have to watch my electrolytes more than anything.

... caffeinated tea? Is he not dead? That's like, 500 mg after a short Google search.

is he not dead

He's doing great. He's Irish (as in, born, raised, and living in Ireland), I think it's pretty normal over there

Tea doesn't have that much usable caffein if you let it steep longer than maybe 3 minutes. Also, we don't know how diluted the tea is.
