When do you stop drinking hot coffee and tea?

teaAre you a seasonal hot beverage drinker like I am?

I ask this because here we are past the halfway mark of April and I'm still drinking hot tea. This is late for me. I usually stop drinking hot tea around the start of April and start drinking diet soda and iced tea (I don't drink coffee). The weather has been cold and rainy/snowy this month, so my tea drinking has stayed at the same level it was in January. Which I like, of course, but it also worries me because I'd rather switch to drinks like diet soda that won't give me as much daily sugar intake (yeah, I know, I could drink my tea with less sugar or Splenda, but where's the fun in that?). As for hot chocolate, well, that's a fall/winter thing and I stopped that weeks ago.

So readers, are you seasonal hot and cold beverage drinkers too? I remember my mom used to drink hot coffee in the hot summer months too because she read somewhere it was good for you or cooled you down in some way I don't quite understand, but science was never my best subject in school.

I have hot coffee for breakfast most days, usually just room temp water during the day... or of course the nice cool Moolata (like Dunkin Donuts' one but from DQ) is enjoyed year round by my friends and I. The date on the calendar doesn't effect my choice of beverage, mostly my company or what I'm doing. (eg. serious house cleaning doesn't mix with hot coffee going cold, or having to gulp it).
