Don't they??  ;)
Seriously, we need the hydration and the energy.  Anyone who does
physical work outside NEEDS to drink something sweet and refreshing.  I
personally don't like sweet tea.  I will occassionally make a pitcher
(pichur) of unsweetened tea for myself, but that's rare.  If I drink
tea, I drink it hot, for the most part, and depending on what kind of
tea it is, sometimes I will add milk (for flowery teas like Earl Gray)
and sometimes I will add citrus juice (for standard black teas) and
sometimes I will just add honey, for herbal and fruity teas.
