I've started ordering my tea in restaurants "half and half" (I live in the deep south and they always offer sweet or unsweet). For the most part, that combats the horrid sweetness of sweetened tea, and I don't have to sweeten unsweet tea, which is chancy at best, as either the regular sugar doesn't melt, or the artificial sweetener makes it taste funny. I just don't drink a lot of sodas, and in general unless I'm drinking wine or other spirits, I prefer tea when I eat.
