Tea lowers your ability to absorb iron and causes increased anxiety and therefore poor sleep.  It can cause nausea, heartburn, pregnancy complications, headaches, dizziness and then you can just end up addicted to it.

Saw that top Google search result as well.  It may do those things.  It also may contain antioxidants, reduce risk of heart disease and stroke, help with weight loss, help protect bones, help protect tooth enamel, boost the immune system, help prevent cancer, and calm nausea (in opposition to your link above).

Either way, I don't think anyone can dispute that it's better for you than lots of other drinks (alcohol, soda, energy drinks, etc.)

Hot water with lemon (and maybe honey)?  I make that if I have a terrible cold to soothe my throat, but that's about it.

i try to keep my consumption of insect vomit to a bare minimum.

The benefits of honey are many.

What else do you avoid?  Animal muscles?

I worked with an older gentleman that had been a mechanic forever . Working in a garage with little ventilation during FL summers ie 90°+ & 70% humidity he drank/drunk ? hot coffee all day. He said it helped his body deal with the  heat. Probably alot of you do the same......yes?
RIP Harry, you taught me so much about fixing cars

Oh, I assume any man over the age of, say, 55 doesn't think I'm a "real man."

I routinely buy salad dressing called Skinny Girl Light Balsamic Vinaigrette.

It's one of the few on the shelf with no added sugars, no carbs, low fat, low sodium; although it's not very rich with oils, it has no weird aftertaste.

Pffft, there's nothing un-manly about eating healthy.  The name is what it is, but whenever they try and come up with a male equivalent (see, eg, DEVOUR, which are Lean Cuisines FOR MEN), it's really, really dumb.

...or missing Paleo-Aggro Caveman Keto from the title.

Personally, I don't care what they call it. It could be Hello Kitty Sauce for all I care, but it works.

I'm hopelessly bad at throwing a baseball or football, and I dread the day I have to teach my son to do either.

I honestly can't think of anything else.  I used to drink black coffee until it stopped agreeing with my stomach.  I smoked cigarettes like a man when I smoked.  I can do basic maintenance on cars (I even replaced the windshield washer fluid pump in our old Camry) and have basic knowledge of power tools.  I know how to cook meat on a gas grill thanks to recipes on the Internet and trial-and-error (a good meat thermometer helps immensely).

That was a picture of his man card. Since he surrendered it here, now the image is broken.

I tie a hoodie around my waist sometimes. My mother would always whine about it because it looked "girly" or "gay".

It's neither.  It's practical.

You could try always try tying it around your shoulders, like WASPs do with their pullovers.

As an aside, Google Images search on {man card} returns interesting results.  My personal favorite is a card with a pen-and-ink sketch of a bearded Edwardian dandy, with the following around the edge (punch as applicable):

*  Grow epic beard

*  Carry buckskin knife

*  Learn to weld

*  Enter lumberjack contest

*  Hike Appalachian Trail solo

*  Rebuild engine (any)

*  Be 1/10 as manly as Steve McQueen

*  Drink Glenlivet 18, neat

*  Stop purse snatcher

*  Build log cabin

*  Survive rattlesnake bite

*  Take up smoking tobacco from pipe

*  Rescue kitten from tree

*  Earn huge face scar

*  Kill 12-point buck with bow

Yes! It's hard to imagine anything more manly. I haven't watched the whole video, but this should probably be a good example:

I mean, how else would you drink it?  If you add anything more than a couple drops of water, you're ruining it.

That'd be a 0 for me - I have a beard, but it's not epic unless you think Riker's beard was epic.

I have exactly one point.  I have a beard, but it's not epic.  I earned face scars from getting chicken pox when I was a kid, but they're not huge.  So, I get half a point in each case.

I don't know how to compare myself to Steve McQueen, so I'm not even going to try to calculate that one.

[GCrites]

I've got 7, although I was a little kid when I rescued the kitten from the tree. Do the things count if you did them as a kid?

Depending on how much you watched, that video might be far more appropriate for this thread than you know.  Though he isn't so much surrendering his man card as he is shredding it into confetti.

I think that was the joke Kurumi was making.

I do smoke tobacco from pipes (although I usually smoke cigars) and I have rescued a kitten.  I have a beard, not sure if I'd call it "epic"  though.
