Tea vs cigarettes and Alcohols

Yesterday, we had a family gathering for Bihu, and as is tradition, my mom went all out preparing a feast with pithas, ladoos, and everything you could imagine. Of course, milk tea was served too One of my relatives (my know-it-all mama) refused the milk tea and asked for ronga saah ,which is fine. But then, he decided to go on a full-blown rant about how harmful milk tea is Here’s the kicker, though: this is the Same person with a history of smoking, alcoholism, and even abuse toward his wife. The double standards really got to me. Like, what can a single cup of milk tea with a moderate amount of sugar possibly do in comparison to cigarettes or alcohol? It’s not like I drink milk tea every day either.
