This data is from the UK where coffee is still significantly less popular than tea. Would be interesting to see the mortality risk of coffee vs tea drinkers though.

Also how many people load it up with sugar and cream rather than just the brew itself.
Like they're just covering up the bad taste.
You have to pay like 20$ a bag to get something that isn't bitter in North America. Here if you want bad coffee at a low price I guess you can buy instant?
I don't think green tea drinkers are putting many additives in there.
I feel like the potential health risks of doing this every day might be worse than the health risks of cancer caused by exposure to hot liquids, even if it's something as small as a bit of increased weight gain. (Especially since you can just wait for it to cool down a bit.)
Even better on a hot day is iced coffee! Something about letting it end up at room temperature for a while alters the taste but if it just goes straight on ice it's kinda sweet on its own.
It's the same as with repeatedly touching hot things with your hands: The nerves deaden and eventually very hot stuff doesn't feel as hot anymore. For your mouth, this is not so handy I feel. I occasionally make mistakes that burn me quite badly, but I can't really tell when it's happening because my memory of a bad burn feels way worse than the reality currently does.
Edit: Actually it's not so handy on your hands either.
