If you let sweet tea go cold it tastes shit, water tastes the same.

You need water to live.

You can cook with it.

You can wash clothes with it.

You can make other beverages with it.

sweet tea can make you gain weight
sweet tea can make things it falls on sticky
sweet tea is a diuretic, literally making you have to urinate more often than normal(this can be good if your kidneys need flushing but bad in the desert)
tea has antioxidants
tea has electrolytes
tea has flavor
tea must be bought, in most places water can be obtained for free
that's all I can think of

Water is better than sweet tea at making a good cup of coffee.
Seriously have you tried making coffee with sweet tea? It tastes wrong. Water doesn't have any contaminating flavours.

Sweet tea includes sugars which are bad for your body, water is totally pure and good for you.

Some water includes additives like fluoride that healthy for your teeth.

Water is usually cheaper then sweet tea.

Water is usable in a much wider range of recipes. Adding sweet tea to many things will ruin it.

Water will not go bad nearly as fast as sweet tea, tastes good hot, cold, lukewarm, can be boiled and still be tasty afterwards, can have many other flavors added to it at will and is a major ingredient in making sweet tea.

In effect water can be made into sweet tea if you desire it, but the reverse is not nearly as easy to accomplish. Therefore, since water can have all the positive effects of sweet tea (by adding things to it) and none of the negative effects, along with a huge variety of other possible uses, water is clearly superior.

Not everyone likes sweet tea, but everyone likes some form of drink that includes water.

Water is also generally better to drink (often heated and steaming) when you are sick and/or congested. Sweet tea would probably not be optimal in such situations and could even make the patient feel worse. Diabetics would need to carefully monitor blood sugar levels if drinking sweet tea but only gain positive effects from drinking water.

The list goes on and on.

I wouldn't write the paper. Sweet tea is infinitely better than everything.
I agree, at least about it being better than water (taste wise obviously) and about 70% of all drinks I've had. It was really funny when my family went to California this summer to visit family and my little brother ordered sweet tea at a Bob's Big Boy. The poor waitress gave the most concerned look, as if he'd ordered a blended chicken. We had to remind my brother that we weren't at home and not every place has sweet tea.

Water has a W. Need I say more?

Also, who would assign a paper like that?
actually I was told to write a paper on a debatable claim and make it 1500 words long. I want to make it painful to read.

I see. Well good luck. I could probably barely think of 100 words.

I know black and green tea do, I don't know about teas from plants other than what we normally get tea from.

Oh, I am something of a king at bullshitting. After missing a bunch of lectures this semester I had to have a meeting with our head of undergraduate studies this week to address the situation. I managed to completely get away scot-free with the level of bullshit I managed to spout as excuses, coupled with my ability at appearing extremely apologetic (though to be fair I was apologetic anyway, I really didn't intend to miss any lectures, but I also didn't want to get into any trouble regarding my course...).

Anyway, for a paper like that? I'd think up whatever random yet truthful facts I can think of about water and sweet tea and milk the hell out of them. For example I could probably get a hundred words at least, probably much more, purely around the idea that water is okay for diabetics whereas sweet tea could be bad for them. Then I'd spin off on a tangent about the harmful effects of sugar on diabetics, and go off on another tangent about the harmful properties of sugar in general. That would get me a few hundred words in, with another hundred maybe on a little paragraph explaining how that links back to my original point. If I include lots of extra unnecessary words to elaborate then I could push that to at least five hundred words total, possibly up to seven hundred if I'm very lucky and skilled. And there you have more than a third of the essay done based on a single point.

Hey, it's how I managed to avoid failing my English Literature AS-Level :p. Of course, I got tired of having to bullshit on every essay so I dropped it for A2. Still fun though :).
