Doctors say he drank about 16 8-ounce cups every day

An Arkansas man’s kidney failure was apparently caused by his iced tea habit, doctors explain in a journal article out this week.

The 56-year old man went to the hospital last May with symptoms like weakness, fatigue, nausea and body aches, the Associated Press reports. His doctors, writing in Thursday’s New England Journal of Medicine, said they had already ruled out several other possible causes when their patient said he drank 16 eight-ounce cups of iced black tea every day.
