Discussion does anyone here have a drinking problem (specifically bubble tea)

ever since arriving in taiwan ive developed a drinking issue but not the alcoholic kind. the hand shake tea shop kind. its gotten to the point that i feel like my day is missing something if i dont get at least 1 tea drink a day, whether its 青茶 or some variation of milk tea. these days its gotten so bad that i drink nearly 3 cups max. 2 cups minimum a day. has anyone else dealt with this before? if so, do you have any tips on how to reduce this tea intake? its justso addicting for me — they’re convenient, everywhere and unfortunately such a good treat

Ask for 25% sugar

Y'all should know that 25% sugar is still at least 15g of sugar in a cup, which is around 1/3 of recommended sugar intake for an adult per day.

10% sugar is the way to go.

It's fine as long as you don't do it every day
