                                Sweet tea is a popular drink, especially in the Southern United States, but its high sugar content greatly affects the calorie count. While unsweetened tea has almost no calories, adding sugar turns it into a sugary drink. A 12 oz glass typically contains between 70 and 160 calories depending on the sugar added.
