   For years, I’ve heard people say they’re taking tea instead of having tea, like it’s some kind of medicine instead of something they enjoy. No one ever says they’re taking coffee, juice, or soda. Why is that?

   ^ I changed “take” to “have” earlier today, as it didn’t sound right to me after all… And there was a good ol’ Googlefight as well.

    Well both started out in Europe as cures for what ails you. Tea must have gotten mentally added to other herbal infusions that were medicinal and got “take” as the verb of choice. In fact you do “take” snuff, another old cure. Ain’t English grand?

    Just as ‘Doing the dishes’ doesn’t stop at washing the dishes; you also dry them, put them away, clean the table, stove, counters, put away the leftovers:
    
    ‘Taking Tea’ is almost a ceremony with appropiate dress (with hats and gloves), tea in a cute kettle, cookies (or bisquets, in England), and the whole oh so proper behavior.
    Served promptly at 4 pm.
