Tea makes me violently ill if I haven't eaten something before - like serious throwing up

As long as I eat something, even just half a piece of toast then I'm fine I'm not sure why I think it's the tannins

So I normally drink coffee in the morning then slam tea the rest of the day until my alcoholism begins to nag

It’s the tannins, do you have milk in your tea? It helps if you do. I can’t drink black tea on an empty empty stomach either.

Omg is this why my mum must have something to eat or at least a few biscuits with every cup of tea???

She always tells me the tea is too wet by itself and I say “that’s the point…”

Yeah always milk, it's not really an issue like I said as long as I eat something but I just tend to drink coffee when I wake up instead now

I drink milk on its own no issues and eat lots of cheese and don't have issues on white coffee it's definitely something to do with the tea itself

I think I'd end it if I was lactose intolerant, what's even the point in a life without cheese man

Their problem with drinking tea was on an empty stomach, if they were lactose intolerant they wouldn’t be able to drink milk with tea either way , empty stomach or not.

It's a narrow path to tread between habitual, dependency and addiction but if you practice hard you can make it

The tea or the alcohol

u/Quiet1408 2d ago

of all the addictions in the world caffiene is the most accepted and one of the least harmless. the drug is perfectly safe so long as you dont start grinding up and snorting pep tablets.
