I agree with all of the above, all our glazes are made to be food and alcohol safe and then tested and certificated whatever colour.
But it is not only Hot drinks that can cause leeching in old glazes, Alcohol and fruit juices are especially bad.
Saying that you do need to use a mug one hell of a lot before it could effect you, don't know how it is in the states but I grew up with lead water pipes and have had no adverse effects I cant put down to over excess in other areas.
